The US has been on a long, sluggish road to recovery since the financial crisis, and Deutsche Bank AG strategists predict the country could see healthy economic expansion from the new administration under President-elect Donald Trump.

The longest US economic expansion on record was 1991 through 2001, and Deutsche Bank strategists say there's a good chance the economy will continue its healthy streak to 2019 without a recession—surpassing that 10-year record, Bloomberg reports.
