Why investors will 'regret' not owning small caps in 2025

Essex Investment Management co-CEO and senior portfolio manager Nancy Prial joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss why investors should consider adding small caps (^RUT) to their portfolios despite current market pressure on this sector. "We know it's been a very tough slog. Clearly, small caps are out of favor," she tells Yahoo Finance. However, she believes investors will "regret" not owning them in 2025. Prial cites "a combination" of valuation and earnings growth: "Those two conditions are what will turn this somewhat historic underperformance cycle around." Regarding interest rate cuts, Prial emphasizes that small caps need "rate stabilization" rather than rate cuts to outperform. "If the 10-year is going to continue to go up ... that's going to be a headwind not only to small caps, [but] to the market overall," she explains. She adds that if rates stay in the 4 to 4.5% range, "that's an environment where small caps have prospered in the past."

Citi expects rally in global stocks to extend into 2025, sees 10% EPS growth

The Wall Street brokerage forecast the MSCI All Country World Index Local, a benchmark performance gauge of world stocks, to hit 1,140 points by the end of this year, implying a 10% upside to its last close of 1,035.46. Citi estimated a 10% earnings-per-share(EPS) growth for global equities, slightly below analyst consensus of 13%, adding that U.S. and emerging market regions could see the strongest EPS growth of about 15%. Maintaining its "overweight" stance on U.S. equities, Citi said President-elect Donald Trump's policies are "a key source of uncertainty, as tariffs, tax cuts and deregulation will bring a complicated mix of favorable and adverse economic effects."

Futures drop on caution ahead of key payrolls data

All eyes are on the Labor Department's non-farm payrolls report, due at 8:30 a.m. ET, after a set of jobs data earlier in the week painted conflicting views about the state of employment. Later in the day, investors will also assess the University of Michigan's preliminary report on consumer sentiment for January. Fresh inflation worries have taken the spotlight, compelling the Fed to issue a cautious forecast on monetary easing last month, as it anticipates policy changes on trade and immigration under President-elect Donald Trump, who is expected to take office in 10 days time.

Stock Futures Fall as Bond Yields Continue to Surge

U.S. stock futures were retreating before the market opened on Monday. The biggest is the recent surge in longer-term bond yields, which is increasing borrowing costs for companies and making stocks less attractive relative to bonds. Renewed talk from President-elect Donald Trump about tariffs and concern from the Federal Reserve that inflation may prove sticky are also weighing on shares.
