Happy New Year to fellow Moo-ers! Hope 2024 has been a great one for you in the stock market!
With a brand new year ahead of us, do work out some plans for your investment and trading.
Stay grounded as we might not have another strong year like the last 2 years. Stay cautious, stick to your plan and you should be fine!

With the postponement of reciprocal tariffs, investors have shrugged off the hot inflation data to push the stock market higher. We are just a whisker away from another new record high!
After an eventful week largely unshaken, can we expect a new record high in the coming week?

Options trading is definitely one of the best knowledge i’ve picked up in recent years. It allows me to generate monthly income.
Depends on your risk appetite, and how greedy you are, options trading may not be as risky as many thought. Some want to earn 10K per month, some are okay with 1K.
I started off with earning only $50-$200 per month

We just received the highest CPI inflation number since June 2024.
Trump wants Fed to cut rates but the Fed can’t do so when inflation is ticking up.
If the interest rate continues to stay high, it will hurt companies’ profits.

The latest CPI inflation numbers came in hotter than expected. As a result, the stock market tumbled as investors are getting concerned that inflation may reignite.
Meanwhile, Trump wants Fed to cut rates. But I don’t think Fed can do that. In fact, some are saying there could be a rate hike.

CPI came in hotter than expected.
Latest CPI shows a rise of 3.0%, above expectations of 2.9%.
Core CPI inflation also came in higher than expected at 3.3%. The estimate was 3.1%.
The Fed wil not like this.
Inflation is getting hot again. Will we suddenly have a rate hike?

Powell said: “With our policy stance now significantly less restrictive than it had been and the economy remaining strong, we do not need to be in a hurry to adjust our policy stance”.
He further mentioned that economy is strong overall, labour market is solid and inflation is easing.
With fewer rate cuts, it means bad news for companies’ profits in general.

Powell was testifying in front of the Senate. He said that the Fed does not need to in a hurry to adjust their policy stance.
Reason being, the economy is "strong overall," with low unemployment and inflation that remains above the Fed's 2% target.
Not sure if the market likes this “higher for longer” news.

Major indexes rose on Monday to start the week on a positive note. Big tech stocks popped to the lead the market rally.
However, the worry for inflation and Trump’s tariffs remain on investors’ mind.
Last week, we have seen how sentiment and the market can swing in the opposite direction very quickly. So do stay nimble despite we had a green Monday
