Why markets are 'jittery' about Trump's economic agenda

President-elect Donald Trump's proposed economic policies have raised inflation concerns and could potentially impact markets negatively. Evercore ISI Chief Strategist for International Affairs and Public Policy Sarah Bianchi joins Asking for a Trend to discuss the potential market implications of his agenda. Bianchi reflects on Trump's first term, noting that his initial focus on corporate tax cuts was something "the market really welcomed," while more controversial policies around trade and immigration that the market was "uncomfortable with" came later in his presidency. However, she points out that "we see the reverse" this time, with trade, immigration, and tariff policies likely to be implemented immediately, adding that the markets, specifically the bond market, are "very jittery" about these prospects how they could impact the deficit.  "It's gonna be hard for him [Trump] to take the actions that he's looking at without making the market a little bit nervous," Bianchi explains. Regarding his tariff policies, she anticipates a more targeted approach, noting she doesn't believe they will be "universal across the board particularly given the concerns about inflation."

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."

Surprising Dec US payrolls jump supports longer Fed pause

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 256,000 jobs last month after rising by a downwardly revised 212,000 in November, the Labor Department said on Friday. "At this point in the cycle, earnings will need to improve – and not just within the large tech companies – in order to have markets “grow into” their already high valuations, so we would be cautious in the short term."

1 Magnificent S&P 500 Dividend Stock Down 33% to Buy in 2025 for a Lifetime of Passive Income

Consumer staples behemoth Clorox (NYSE: CLX) has faced no shortage of issues over the last few years. With ballooning inflation and a cyberattack hampering Clorox's operations (among many other companies), the company's stock still languishes 33% below its all-time highs from 2020. This sales stability, paired with Clorox's ongoing turnaround yet depressed share price, makes it a steady-Eddie stock worth a long look today.

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.

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."
