STOCK MARKET,NASDAQ,S&P 500

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite all ended 2024 with losses, marking a reversal from the post-election rally. Sentiment and profit-taking are cited as key factors contributing to the decline.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose by 9 points, or 0.02%. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.06% and 0.08%, respectively, with investors taking profits in some notable 2024 gainers such as Apple and Tesla. The Dow ended the day lower by more than 150 points, or about 0.4%. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite slid about 0.2%, each.

All three benchmarks were higher earlier in the day, with the Dow having gained more than 300 points at one point, but fell back as the session progressed. Those moves come after stocks ended 2024 on a sour note, with the S&P 500 closing out the year with four consecutive days of losses, a first going back to 1966. The broad market index notched a stupendous 23% gain for the year, but fell 2.5% in December. The 'Santa Claus' rally, in which stocks gain in the final five trading days of one year and the first two of the next, also failed to materialize.'The setup for some of this weakness was probably very sentiment driven. We had really gotten to a lot of frothy conditions in the aftermath of the election, that post-election rally period, especially when we went back into that concentration problem,' Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, told CNBC's'Closing Bell' on Thursday. 'I don't think there was really any kind of prime catalyst,' she added.'I think it was a little bit more of an exhaustion from a sentiment standpoint.' The economic calendar is thin on catalysts this week, but traders on Friday will watch for the latest reading of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Stocks are on pace to close out the week with losses. As of Thursday's close, the 30-stock Dow and S&P 500 were lower by more than 1%, each. The Nasdaq Composite slid more than 2%

Asia-Pacific Stocks End 2024 on a High Note, South Korea Lags BehindAsia-Pacific stocks enjoyed a successful year in 2024, with most significant markets gaining ground. This positive performance was fueled by accommodative monetary policies implemented by central banks in the region and a surge in tech stocks driven by the AI boom. However, South Korea stood out as the only major Asian market to experience a decline in value, attributed to factors such as tariff concerns and the uncertain political landscape following President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment. Analysts predict that the trajectory of Asian markets in 2025 will be heavily influenced by the economic policies of the U.S. and China, with the potential for continued growth if monetary easing persists and the AI sector maintains its momentum.
