A final look at how the U.S. stock market has performed under Joe Biden

U.S. stocks are about to close out Joe Biden’s era on a high note as the president bids farewell to the White House.

The 46th president of the United States is bringing his time at the White House to a close with the S&P 500 up around 54% since he took office on Jan. 20, 2021. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has advanced more than 38% over the same period, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has jumped over 43%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

However, the Dow and the Nasdaq have seen their worst returns since George W. Bush’s second term between 2005 and 2009, while the S&P 500 has logged its smallest gains since Barack Obama’s second term between 2013 and 2017, according to Dow Jones Market Data (see table above).
