Trading day takeaways: January recap, 2025 leans bullish

Yahoo Finance's Markets and Data Editor Jared Blikre joins Josh Lipton on Asking for a Trend to discuss the market's performance in January. US stocks (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI) closed lower on the final trading day of January as President Trump confirmed his tariff plans, though the month of January saw strong market performance overall. Sectors like healthcare performed especially well, while tech closed in the negative. Additionally, Blikre points to positive January seasonality and strong international stock performance driven by a weaker dollar, noting that the outlook for 2025 leans increasing more bullish now.
