Last Week Recap:
In-Short
This week's stock market (Feb 17-21, 2025) finished lower, with the S&P 500 slipping 2.13% from Feb 19 to Feb 21.
Next week (Feb 24-28, 2025) may face ups and downs due to financial reports and trade announcements.
A possible energy shortfall in Europe, sparked by soaring gas costs and restrictions, might unleash a market upheaval.
Market Results This Week
Market began with varied outcomes but closed weaker. The S&P 500 at 6,144.15 on February 19 yet slid to 6,013.13 by Feb 21, a 2.13% drop. This downturn triggered by softer financial figures, growing price worries, and lackluster company profits, notably from big names like Walmart.
Outlook for Next Week
For February 24-28, 2025, expect volatility. Major financial updates like GDP and job stats are due, along with news on trade duties and central bank moves. The energy sector, especially in Europe, will matter greatly, with shifts in gas prices and penalties playing a big role.
Unexpected Factor: Europe’s Energy Squeeze
A pressing worry is an energy pinch in Europe, with gas futures jumping and a vital gas agreement ending, possibly spiking prices worldwide and shaking markets. This could surprise many traders.
Warren Buffett’s 2025 Letter Breakdown
Buffett’s letter to Berkshire shareholders adds depth:
Cash Stack: Berkshire holds $334 billion in cash, up from $325 billion, after cutting stakes in Apple (now $272 billion in stocks) and Bank of America.
Stock Moves: Despite sales, Buffett favors stocks over bonds, with American Express now topping Apple in holdings.
Succession: At 94, Buffett signals Greg Abel, 62, will soon take over, praising his knack for big bets.
Tax Brags: Berkshire paid $26.8 billion in US taxes in 2024, 5% of all corporate tax, outpacing tech giants.
Profit Beat: Operating earnings hit $47.4 billion, despite 53% of 189 units seeing lower profits, aided by Treasury yields.
Buffett’s cash hoard and stock tilt hint at caution amid high valuations, with Abel poised to act when chances arise.
