Expect a correction in 2025, be ready to buy the dip: Strategist

The Federal Reserve may slow down the pace of its rate-easing cycle in 2025. Main Street Research chief investment officer James Demmert tells Morning Brief hosts Seana Smith and Brad Smith this could cause a market (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) correction, which he says is an opportunity for investors to buy on the dip. “Investors should recognize that ‘25 is going to be really different than ‘24,” Demmert says, also noting that “this rally, which has been really dramatic since July, is starting to look a little bit vulnerable.” Investors need to "prepare themselves emotionally for, let's say, a normal correction of 8% to 12% in markets. We really haven't seen much of that," the CIO continues. "You can also prepare your portfolio by maybe paring some of these giant gains that we've seen in the last couple of years." The strategist adds that 2025's "key point" for investors will be "realizing that the Fed really is already probably at the neutral rate [and] they're probably not going to have to cut very much at all in 2025 because they kind of got the economy where they want it… The market [will] have a nice big correction [and] investors should buy that correction because we're in [the early phases] a bull market.” Watch the video above to learn more about Demmert’s investment strategy heading into 2025.

Mag 7 stocks serve as defensive plays in 2025: Citi strategist

2024 has been "one big valuation surprise" that has been "dominated by the [Magnificent] Seven megacap growth cohort," Citi head of US equity strategy Scott Chonert tells Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton on Market Domination. The strategist says not only does the Magnificent Seven group, made up of Nvidia (NVDA), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Tesla (TSLA), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms (META), and Apple (AAPL), has more room to run in 2025, the stocks could actually function as a defensive play amid market uncertainty. "We're thinking the Mag Seven actually unfold as a quasi staple," Chronert says, explaining, "Usually you go to [consumer] staples when you have uncertain economic conditions because of the persistence of earnings growth." "The Mag Seven, we think, that forward-looking earnings growth for certainly for [2025] and probably into [2026] is fairly visible. So all told, when you get concerned about other things at work in the market and the economy, the Mag Seven actually have this potential to be a quote, defensive if you will." The strategist highlights the phrase "growth is defensive," saying, "That's what's going on here." He notes, "These companies probably can't just live on meeting expectations. They need to continue to meet beat and then probably raise forward expectations as well" to maintain their "defensive" status.
