Warren Buffett-led�Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) has been on a tear following the US Presidential election. The BRK.A stock is up 12.2% since November 8, outperforming the S&P 500 (INDX:SPAL), which is up 6% in the same period. While Buffett was a clear and staunch supporter of Hillary, it could come across as a surprise that investors have been buying BRK.A stock in droves. Can Berkshire Hathaway maintain its strong uptrend? Well, while the stock seems to be on a run, this rally could be far longer taking the stock higher under the Trump Presidency. Berkshire Hathaway looks set for a big 2017. Here is why.
A Higher Interest RateThere has been a constant chatter about higher inflation and higher interest rates under the Trump administration. Higher Interest rates could well be the first big win for Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. Why? Remember the various Insurance businesses they operate?�Berkshire has numerous insurance subsidiaries including GEICO, Central States Indemnity, General RE, National Indemnity, Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance, and others. These will all see a twin benefit from a�Trump Presidency. Firstly, higher Inflation rates should have a direct positive impact on Insurance premiums, which means that Berkshire's 'Insurance float', which is central to any insurance business will see a rise in the coming years.
