Related News Fed cuts rates by quarter point, scales back cuts for 2025 The Federal Reserve reduced interest rates by a quarter percentage point Wednesday and scaled back the number of cuts it expects to make next year. Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq clobbered as Fed, Powell signal fewer rate cuts in 2025 Stocks eyed a rebound Wednesday, with the blue-chip Dow looking to snap its longest losing streak since 1978 Your 2025 portfolio strategy can't rely on more rate cuts: Strategist US stocks (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) are trading lower after the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point cut and said it expects to deliver two cuts in 2025. Innovator Capital Management head of research and investment strategy Tim Urbanowicz sits down with Market Domination Overtime co-hosts Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton to examine the market reaction to the Fed announcement. "There is such high expectations across the board" for the market in 2025, Urbanowicz says, explaining, "the expectation for the Fed [is] going to continue on this aggressive pace of cutting without any economic pain. It's great if it plays out, but today, as you see, those expectations pulled back, you see the market pull back." While Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated that the US economy is strong, justifying the 25 basis point cut at the December meeting, Urbanowicz says, "the big fear is a reacceleration in inflation." The strategist notes that recent data signals inflation progress is stalling, just ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's second term. "I think they're getting nervous about the new administration coming in," Urbanowicz says, noting that Trump's policy proposals, like tariffs and mass deportations, are expected to be inflationary. Overall, the strategist says the market reaction to the Fed meeting underlines that "investors need to be very cautious on their expectations for the Fed ... investors need to really disconnect the need for risk management and interest rates in their portfolio in 2025," as it seems rates will be staying higher for longer than initially expected.

Why this strategist sees a 'multi-month pause' from the Fed The Federal Reserve implemented a 25 basis point rate cut Wednesday afternoon, sending stock markets (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) lower. Roth Capital Partners chief economist & macro strategist Michael Darda joins Market Domination to provide insights into the central bank's decision. Darda says the rate cut was "expected" but notes the updated dot plot projections contained a hawkish tone. He anticipates a "multi-month pause" in rate cuts, citing Federal Reserve Chair Powell's indication that the economy is outperforming initial expectations from September. "What's really strange about the current backdrop is ... the labor market is cooling," Darda explains. He highlights that private employment growth is at "half the level that we were seeing pre-pandemic," and the unemployment rate showed early recessionary signals by "hooking upwards" during the summer. Despite this, Darda notes that overall, economic growth remains robust, with fourth quarter GDP tracking estimates in the 3% range. "People look at that, and they look at the stock market ... and they kind of scratch their head thinking, 'what is the sense of urgency here? Why is the Fed doing 100 basis points of cuts when everything seems to be fine?'" Darda tells Yahoo Finance.

This post was written by Angel Smith Large-cap value stocks will lead market in 2025: BofA strategist A few big names have led the market (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) higher in 2024, but as investors consider their strategy for the near year, can these same names lead 2025? Bank of America Securities head of US equity strategy and US quantitative strategy Savita Subramanian sits down with Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton on Market Domination to share her market outlook for 2025 and explain why she believes large-cap value stocks will lead the way. Subramanian's team at BofA currently hold a 6,666 year-end price target for the S&P 500 in 2025. "When you look at the market, the S&P itself is a tale of two stories," Subramanian says," explaining, "You've got this very top-heavy benchmark where there's a few really expensive tech companies that have been leading the market, and then you've got the rest of the S&P 500 where the average stock is trading at, I think, close to the deepest discount we've seen in the history of our data relative to the index." The strategist says she's bullish about the S&P 500 in the long term because "despite the fact that inflation went from negative to 9% to 3%, I mean, you would have thought we'd see some kind of hiccup in margins, but corporates did what they usually do, which is when they realize that things are getting more expensive, they focus on efficiency." Looking to 2025, Subramanian says, "I think we're going to see large-cap value stocks really crush it," outlining that "large-cap value is under the radar." "Think about what's in large-cap value. It's big regulated companies that are going to get a break under a regulatory light administration. That's one thing we know about the red sweep and a Trump 2.0 cycle, the strategist says, highlighting energy, industrials, materials, and real estate as sectors to benefit.
