Insights From Analysts:
Talking about the upcoming decision by FOMC on the interest rates, Jeremy Siegel, said, &#8220;I anticipate a 25-basis-point cut in December, paired with a strong signal to pause further easing—a so-called hawkish cut.&#8221;
Siegel is a senior economist at WisdomTree and emeritus professor of finance at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.
&#8220;Inflation remains well-contained, though the University of Michigan's one-year inflation expectations shot up to 2.9%, warranting close attention and possibly signaling concerns about Trump's tariff policies,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;U.S. payrolls for November showed the economy is adding jobs at a healthy clip. Wage growth remains above the level that would allow inflation to settle at the Fed's 2% target – a reason we do not see the Fed cutting rates sharply,&#8221; according to a BlackRock note.
As per Siegel, &#8220;equities remain strong,&#8221; but at 22 times earnings, its &#8220;valuations are not cheap.&#8221;
&#8220;Investors should be careful about becoming over-exuberant in December&#8221; he added saying that he &#8220;could see a muted and rather disappointing next few weeks, while a better Q1.&#8221; Siegel also said, &#8220;…2025 is unlikely to be as strong a market as we had in 2023 and 2024.&#8221;
&#8220;Robust economic growth, broad earnings growth, and a quality tilt underpin our conviction,&#8221; said BlackRock in their note. They added that they are &#8220;overweight in U.S. stocks versus other regions.&#8221;
BlackRock said, &#8220;We see the AI buildout and adoption creating opportunities across sectors. We tap into beneficiaries outside the tech sector.&#8221;
&#8220;We see valuations for big tech backed by strong earnings, and less lofty valuations for other sectors,&#8221; the note added.
Siegel also said that AI-driven productivity gains will influence growth trends in 2025. &#8220;While AI cannot yet replace all forms of labor, its impact on middle management and sectors like transportation could prove transformative, offering both risks and rewards for forward-looking investors,&#8221; he said.
