Market Performance
The stock market closed out last week on a high note, with major indices posting significant gains.
S&P 500 surged by over 3%, marking its best week since the November elections.
Nasdaq Composite, heavily weighted with tech stocks, climbed more than 3.6%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average outperformed, rising nearly 4%.
Inauguration Day Impact
As markets brace for Donald Trump's return to the Oval Office, investors are keenly observing potential policy shifts.
The inauguration, set for Monday, January 20, 2025, has already influenced market sentiment:
Sector Volatility: "Trump trades" such as small-cap stocks, energy shares, and financials have experienced fluctuations.
Policy Uncertainty: Concerns about tariffs and tax policies have created a sense of unease among investors.
Market Resilience: Despite uncertainties, the S&P 500 is expected to be "shielded" from significant declines in the coming months.
Economic Indicators
Recent economic data has painted a mixed picture:
Inflation: A cooler-than-expected December inflation report alleviated concerns about potential Fed rate hikes.
Treasury Yields: The 10-year yield fell 20 basis points to 4.1%, easing pressure on stocks.
Employment: Strong December payroll figures suggest continued economic resilience.
Sector Outlook
As the new administration takes office, different sectors are poised for varying impacts:
Traditional Industries: Could benefit from infrastructure spending plans.
Financial Sector: May see positive effects from potential deregulation.
Technology: Faces uncertainty due to possible antitrust measures.
Healthcare: Particularly sensitive to policy changes, expect significant volatility.
Corporate Earnings
The earnings season is in full swing, with 43 S&P 500 companies set to report this week.
Key reports to watch include:
Netflix (NFLX)
United Airlines (UAL)
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)
3M Company (MMM)
Market Sentiment
Julian Emanuel of Evercore ISI predicts a more turbulent year ahead, with ongoing fluctuations between "risk-on" and "risk-off" sentiments. Bank of America's Michael Hartnett remains confident in the S&P 500's resilience.
Looking Ahead
Goldman Sachs maintains an optimistic outlook, forecasting the S&P 500 to reach 6,500 by year-end 2025. However, elevated sentiment and valuations could lead to increased volatility. As we navigate the post-inauguration landscape, investors should prepare for policy-driven market movements and potential sector rotations.
