Seems strange that China, which has the 2nd largest economy behind the U.S. and with ambitions to be the largest economy by 2030 is still considered an emerging market???

What am I missing here???

The TRUTH comes to mind.

Interesting, because the market was up after the 2012 and 2016 elections and down for the 2008 election. However, after the 2008 election the market was down November '08' through February '09' but by March 2009 the market took off.

Stock Market News: Dow Falls After White House Tariff Comments​

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 338 points, or 0.8%. The S&P 500 dropped 0.5%. The Nasdaq Composite was down 0.3%. Despite Friday’s decline, the Dow still managed to lock in its best January since 2019.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt sent stocks tumbling when she said the Trump administration plans to go forward with 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on China starting on Feb. 1.

When the index ends the first month of the year in the green, it averages a gain of 9.4% in the other 11 months, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
