Futures are higher during pre-market as trading gets going for the new year
In case you’re not aware, S&P 500 posted 23% gain for 2024. It rose more than 50% in last 2 years, largest gain since 1997 - driven by hype in AI. But what followed after 1997-1998 was the 2000 dot com bubble
Right now, AI revolution seems doing well, and many are saying that this is not a bubble because the rich valuations are backed by companies’ earnings.

In the early hours of the first trading days of 2025, the futures are green. Investors would hope to regain 2024’s bullish momentum after a few consecutive days of pullback.
2023 and 2024 have given us more than 20% return in S&P500. If we can get that for a third year in a row, that will be phenomenal.

4 straight days of dumping
Cathie is dumping too
$Tesla (TSLA.US)$

The US stock market ended Tuesday, 31 December, lower as investors wrapped up another stellar year that saw the S&P500 gained by 24%.
This is its 2nd straight annual gain of more than 20%. The last time this happened was in 1997-1998.
All that said, the 3 red days is a small warning to investors that there are still uncertainties and potential headwinds as we go into 2025 - inflation, rate cut campaign, Trump 2.0, companies earnings etc.

Futures are slightly in the green zone as the stock market tries to shake off the recent 2 red sessions in a row.
S&P500 is currently on track to another year of more than 20% return. This will be its second consecutive year achieving this feat, something then we haven’t seen since the 1990s.
Excitement and optimism on US economy and AI have been driving this crazy returns for 2 years, and will likely to continue into 2025.
