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."

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.

Trump's tariffs unlikely to reach 60%, boosting Hong Kong, China stock markets: analysts

A whopping 60 per cent tariff proposed by US president-elect Donald Trump on Chinese exports could be much lower, easing the impact on corporate earnings and stock markets in Hong Kong on the mainland, according to analysts. Pictet Wealth Management predicted US tariffs on Chinese goods will rise to 20 per cent, while BNP Paribas said they would be capped at 25 per cent. "One of the reasons that we do not take that 60 per cent at its face value is because we think that is going to have a pretty

Stock market today: World shares slide further as rate cut, tariff worries hit market sentiment

European shares opened higher on Friday and Asian stocks retreated after U.S. markets were closed to observe a National Day of Mourning for former President Jimmy Carter. Markets in Asia saw a broad decline that analysts said reflects weakening confidence about the chances of further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve given recent data showing unexpected strength in the U.S. economy. Minutes from a Dec. 17-18 meeting released this week showed Fed officials expected to dial back the pace of interest rate cuts this year in the face of persistently elevated inflation and the threat of widespread tariffs increases under President-elect Donald Trump and other potential policy changes.
