The S&P 500, a key index tracked by many 401(k)s, surged nearly 28% this year. The tech-focused Nasdaq soared 34%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 16%. This year's strong stock market performance has experts debating whether these high prices will deter investors in 2025 or if the momentum will continue. While experts anticipate continued upward movement in 2025, they acknowledge an unusually high level of uncertainty that could either escalate the gains or cause a downturn.
The biggest unknown for the stock market in 2025 is the impact of the incoming president, Donald Trump. Positive economic news has fueled the stock market this year. The economy expanded at a healthy pace in 2024, and inflation declined. This performance kept the U.S. on track for robust growth. Inflation has significantly decreased from its peak of over 9% in June 2022. This progress prompted the Federal Reserve to implement its first interest rate cuts in four years. In recent months, the Fed has lowered its benchmark rate by three-quarters of a percentage point, easing its fight against inflation and providing relief for borrowers. Over time, rate cuts make borrowing less expensive for various purposes, including home mortgages, credit cards, and cars
