MARKET REACTION

minute-by-minute

Average Cumulative Abnormal Return (CAR) in the 10 minutes before and 60 minutes after each of Trump’s 3,817 financially relevant Truth Social posts — grouped by sentiment. CAR = sector ETF return minus SPY return, measured in basis points (bps).

Negative posts

Sector ETFs trend above SPY for the full hour. The move persists and grows — real repricing of policy risk, not HFT noise.

Neutral posts

Slight pop in the first 5 minutes, then flat. Classic noise pattern — fast reversion with no sustained direction.

Positive posts

Sector ETFs sink below SPY and keep falling for 60 minutes. Political cheerleading reads as noise — the market discounts it.
