US economy set for 'trend-ish' 2.3% growth in 2025, economist says

Bank of America (BAC) senior US economist Aditya Bhave joins Market Domination to discuss the United States' global economic standing ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's return to the executive office. Bhave notes that the US currently has "very solid economic momentum," maintaining a 3% growth rate over the past two years. He attributes this success to declining inflation and accelerating labor productivity, while other global productivity metrics are falling. "We're still pretty confident. We think we can grow at 2.3% this year [2025], which would be trendish," he tells Yahoo Finance. Regarding the incoming Trump administration's impact, Bhave explains that while deregulation expectations are already priced into markets and achievable through executive action, "greater uncertainty" surrounds trade and fiscal policy decisions. "We think the policy mix will be roughly awash for growth, but we do think it will be somewhat inflationary," Bhave states, adding that even without Trump's policies being implemented, he expects economic growth between 2 to 2.5% in 2025. Nevertheless, Bhave observes that from a global perspective, "the rest of the world is in a more difficult position" than the US.

More sectors, stocks need to 'carry the ball' in 2025: Strategist

The Magnificent Seven tech stocks are pulling back as US market indexes (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) decline, contrary to Wall Street's hopes for a Santa Claus rally. What is the next phase of the AI trade and Mag Seven momentum looking like going into 2025? MDB Capital president and chief market strategist Lou Basenese sits down in-studio with Seana Smith and Madison Mills for a conversation about where he expects market momentum to broaden out in the coming new year. "The heavy concentration is the fact that if we look at the other 493 stocks in the S&P 500 (^GSPC), expectations are for their growth in earnings to accelerate significantly. So from about 4% this year to 13%," Basenese explains. "So we need other names to pick up and carry the ball in 2025. And I think we're going to see that happen. The tech sector is obviously going to have the strongest growth, but we need to see everyone else participating." Basenese goes on to comment about where bitcoin (BTC-USD), the volatility index (^VIX), and even the Federal Reserve fit into market expectations. Bernstein Private Wealth Management Senior Investment Strategist Roosevelt Bowman told Yahoo Finance earlier today that the next AI investment plays could include power and energy suppliers and semiconductor cooling technology.

Small caps could outperform in 2025 with 'perfect combination'

2025 could be the year of small-cap outperformance, MJP Wealth Advisors chief investment officer Brian Vendig tells Seana Smith and Madison Mills on Catalysts. "Our view is that, as long as the economy stays on stable footing and some of these policy decisions don't go to extremes, and obviously a little cooperation from the Fed, that could be the perfect combination to see small-cap outperformance in 2025," Vendig says. The strategist adds, "I think the market's going to come back to earnings," explaining, "the first couple of months next year, first half of next year [will be a] choppy market due to policy [uncertainty,] but if earnings continue to stay intact ... we're still constructive on stocks, and we also think bonds might be an opportunity as well." "I'm definitely not one to recommend to add to megacap tech at this point, but I think taking a look at some of those value-oriented sectors that help to play into innovation and growth for the economy still makes sense," Vendig says, highlighting opportunities in the industrial sector like infrastructure, electric grid enhancement, and power generation, as well as some biotech and pharmaceutical plays.
