Good MorningEquity markets were mostly flat on Thursday following the Christmas holiday closure. The S&P 500 closed with barely any movement, while the small-cap Russell 2000 gained nearly a full percent. The data shows investors are interested in the S&P 500, but the balance of activity is shifting toward small-cap stocks, which are expected to do well in 2025. The idea is that easing monetary and regulatory headwinds will benefit small-cap stocks most because of their exposure to debt and interest rates. In this environment, the Russell 2000 could be the market leader in 2025.
Next week's action will likely echo this week with light trading volume and upward pressure on prices. The critical resistance target for the S&P 500 is near 6,100 and is likely to be tested before the New Year celebration. The question is whether the market will set a new high and sustain it through the end of January. In that scenario, the S&P 500 could continue trending higher all year and hit 7,000 or higher by year's end. Featured: After New Years, price goes back up 4,800% (StocksToTrade)
