Here's when you need to buy the markets: Strategist explains
Slatestone Wealth partner and chief market strategist Kenny Polcari shares his market outlook on Market Domination, offering insights on both the technology sector (XLK) and broader market trends (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC). On the tech sector, "I think it's going to continue to be kind of a bumpy ride," Polcari notes, referencing the sector's recent pattern of pullbacks followed by an "explosive rally." While he believes tech will outperform in 2025 saying, "it is changing the world, so you have to be in it" — he urges investors to remain "cautious" and avoid chasing trending stocks. Regarding the overall market, Polcari expects ongoing fluctuations. He challenges the market consensus on interest rates, viewing predictions of a 2025 rate cut in late spring or early summer as "premature," citing persistent inflation concerns. "I continue to be cautious on what the inflation data is going to tell us, which is why I think the market is going to remain in flux," Polcari explains. Despite this cautious outlook, he adds "I'm a buyer of the market absolutely, I'm a buyer on pullbacks. I buy it on down days, not up days."
