Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the socio-political cyclical pattern “Presidential Election Cycle” in economics and its practical application for forecasting the dynamics of stock markets. The methodology is based on a statistical analysis of the US stock market, which is a key component of the global financial market. The study used statistical data on the value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average from 1897 to 2025. Characteristic patterns that determine the behavior of the stock market in different phases of the “Presidential Election Cycle” in modern economic conditions were identified. It was found that within this cycle, only the pre-election year is of practical interest, in which the average increase in the Dow Jones Industrial Average is 2–4 times higher than the increase in other years of the cycle. It was established that the thesis about the higher dynamics of the stock market during the rule of the Democratic Party is confirmed in modern conditions.

Keywords
