Good MorningSanta Claus came to Wall Street this year, and equity markets rose on the last two trading days before the holiday. The action was light, but it lifted the S&P 500 to near its all-time high and set it up for new highs by the end of the year or early in 2025. In this scenario, the index will likely trend higher in 2025 and could reach 7,100 or higher by year's end. Drivers of this rally include economic growth, healthy labor markets, and resilient consumers with potential tailwinds from lower rates and Trump's policies appearing by year's end.
The next big hurdle for the S&P 500 is the earnings reporting season. The analysts expect earnings growth to accelerate in Q4 and next year, so guidance is crucial. The market will want a favorable outlook and will likely get one, which may accelerate the rally. The risk is that inflation, which has been accelerating, will lead the FOMC back into tightening, raising the risk of economic stalling and recession. Featured: BITCOIN (Awesomely, LLC)
