The stock markets mix of toil and trouble is in the cauldron ready for a bear market in 2025, if not before.
Why?
- Fed to resist reducing rates to the market’s desired 3.50%.
- Profits unlikely from now on to fulfill expectations, because the U.S. economy is slowing.
- AI sector is in or close to ‘bubble territory’.
- Debt.
- Geopolitical concerns.
These concerns are now all combining, and it will likely add-up to a bear market of around 25% in 2025 (this is my best guess).
Remember – make your own decisions and always, always do your own careful research. Seek professional financial advice if in doubt.
