A fundadora, CEO e CIO da Ark Invest, Cathie Wood, estimou que o presidente dent Donald Trump irá turbinar a economia dos EUA com novas políticas. De acordo com o gestor da carteira, o crescimento económico iminente dos EUA sob a liderança de Trump ultrapassará o crescimento testemunhado durante a Revolução Reagan.
Cathie Wood acredita que a administração de Trump promoverá a inovação e o desenvolvimento em tecnologia, sendo os principais beneficiários a indústria da saúde, o setor da mobilidade autónoma e o ecossistema da moeda digital.
A desregulamentação (desfaçando a SEC, a FTC e outros), os cortes nas despesas governamentais (abrindo espaço para o sector privado), as reduções de impostos e o foco na inovação tecnologicamente possibilitada irão provavelmente turbinar a economia dos EUA de forma mais poderosa do que durante a Revolução Reagan. https://t.co/S2BBd0p0bR

In a video posted by Ark Invest, Cathie Wood shared her opinion and personal experiences from the early days of her career. Wood said there are many similarities between the U.S. economy during Trump’s incoming administration and the Reagan Revolution. Wood believes Trump’s proposal to introduce tariffs to international U.S. partners in exchange for lowering taxes for consumers and businesses will be good for the economy.
The CEO also believes that the Trump administration will see interest rates drop and explosive productivity growth. Wood believes sectors such as robotics, energy storage, healthcare, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology are converging and will most likely unlock explosive GDP growth and lower-than-expected inflation.
According to Cathie Wood, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), under Chair Gary Gensler’s leadership, has hindered the growth of crypto and the digital asset space. As a result, the U.S. has lost a lot of talent to other countries.
Wood also referenced Elon Musk’s role in reducing government spending through technology in the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) as an economic growth catalyst.
The portfolio manager also said that government policies have impeded a lot of innovation after the internet revolution, although the “seeds” are flourishing behind the scenes.
Wood emphasized that Trump’s administration will foster growth and innovation, with the biggest opportunities occurring in autonomous mobility, healthcare, and cryptocurrencies.
Cathie Wood also noted that Bitcoin is part of Trump’s administration plans, which include building a strategic BTC reserve. Wood also mentioned that the U.S. SEC almost made the country miss out on the next big wave of the internet, but Trump’s administration will bring the innovation home.
Wood’s ARK funds have experienced a big surge since Trump won the elections. In the last few days, ARK Invest’s fund, ARK Innovation, has outperformed the S&P 500 with a 15.93% gain compared to the index’s 4.66%.
Bitcoin’s recent performance has been outstanding. The asset has made a new all-time high of $81,751 and is up 17% in the last seven days. Bitcoin’s performance has caused a ripple effect in the entire crypto industry, with memecoins leading the sector with double-digit seven-day gains.
Dogecoin, for instance, is up 86% in the past seven days following a 22% surge in the last 24 hours. On the other hand, Shiba Inu has outperformed Tron, claiming the tenth position on CoinMarketCap’s top ten list of the largest crypto projects by market capitalization. Shiba Inu is up 8.49% and has registered a 50% gain in the last seven days.
