It's growth, not inflation keeping rates higher: Strategist

US stocks (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI) are up following cooler-than-expected inflation data from December's Producer Price Index (PPI) print. Horizon Investments Chief Investment Officer Scott Ladner joins Wealth to explain why a strong economy doesn't lead to a bad stock market and that elevated interest rates are not due to inflation. "The primary driver of these higher rates we've seen over the last month is not inflation worries. It's not inflationary types of things — it is growth," Ladner explains. Ladner warns investors not to ignore non-US equities, recalling past misjudgments from 2017 when the consensus was that US stocks would outperform due to factors like deregulation and tariff pressures. Additionally, Ladner speaks on technology (XLK) and financials (XLF) as strong sectors, with tech driven by AI and deregulation benefiting small financials. Major banks kick off earnings season with JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), Citi (C), Goldman Sachs (GS), Bank of America (BAC), and Morgan Stanley (MS) set to report quarterly results throughout the week. "This is happening right now. Technology, you have to be a part of it... you can't be underweight [with] tech coming in for the next several years at least," Ladner says.

AI data center power demand to grow 160% by 2030 globally: Analyst

President Biden has signed an executive order allowing federal lands to be used for data center buildouts and supporting clean energy facilities. Brian Singer, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research Global Head of GS Sustain, joins Catalysts to discuss the growing energy demand to power these artificial intelligence data centers. Singer projects AI data center power demand will grow 160% globally by 2030 compared to 2023 levels. "This is a significant expansion in the United States," he says, adding that "that's why we think this all-in approach that governments and corporates and hyperscalers and utilities are taking to try and ensure reliability... is going to be a significant investment theme going forward." According to Singer, the combination of data centers and increased power demands from non-AI sources, industrialization, reshoring, and electrification "is what's going to take power demand in the United States to levels that we haven't seen since the 1990s." Watch the full video above for insights on how the Trump administration's policies could impact this sector.

Mortgage rates could fall to 5.8% by year's end: Serhant agent

Serhant Team Lead and Licensed Real Estate Agent Sean McPeak joins Wealth to discuss the housing market and share advice for home shoppers. McPeak forecasts mortgage rates dropping below 6% in the coming year, with the 30-year fixed rate likely reaching 5.8%. He notes that this decrease depends on the Federal Reserve continuing its interest rate-cutting cycle and proper market risk pricing. "Better conditions for buyers" are emerging across the market, McPeak explains, with cooling prices in various states and increasing inventory in urban and mid-country regions. "I do think conditions have improved; however, in markets like New York City, where there is a lot of regulation and a very high cost of labor, we are seeing less supply come into the market, which is also kind of keeping prices propped up." For prospective homebuyers, McPeak recommends targeting properties that have been listed for extended periods and limiting house tours to six per day, noting that "after a long day of shopping for houses, it all kinds of blends together." He also suggests maintaining a reference file for preferred properties. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Wealth here.

Nvidia isn't in this portfolio manager's top picks, but cash is

US stocks (^DJI, ^GSPC, ^IXIC) are off to a volatile start in 2025. Niles Investment Management founder and portfolio manager Daniel Niles joins Seana Smith and Madison Mills to share his five top investment picks for 2025: cash, Cisco (CSCO), KBWB Bank ETF (KBWB), S&P Midcap Value ETF (IJJ), and Adtran (ADTN). Niles explains why Nvidia (NVDA), investors' artificial intelligence (AI) darling, is not on his list. He says that "Nvidia has been a big beneficiary" of "really strong AI spending on infrastructure over the last two years," but he expects "a pause or digestion phase in AI spending as you get into 2025." Niles says investors should focus on sectors that benefit from the incoming Trump administration's policy priorities, specifically deregulation and tax cuts. He says Trump's expected policies will benefit "more of the small and the mid-cap type of names," especially as the Federal Reserve may be more hawkish. "The last time I picked cash as a top-five pick was in 2022 as the S&P went down 19%, and you got pummeled on bonds as well because, remember, inflation was going up," Niles explains. "If everything goes right [in the S&P 500], it's up 10%, but the downside is down 20[%] to 30[%] because multiples compress because inflation comes in higher than what we're thinking, and the Fed doesn't cut, in fact, pauses or raises then yes, obviously, you know cash is in there for a reason."

ETFs to watch for in next wave of AI growth in 2025

ETF inflows reached record inflows of $1 trillion in 2024, with many on Wall Street expecting this trend to continue well into 2025. Strategas Securities ETF and technical strategist Todd Sohn appears on Catalysts to highlight the AI trade as a key theme for ETF investing. “We like ETFs because they spread around the bets... As long as the ETF is not too overweight, one or two single names, you're going to get the benefit of whoever emerges from that pack," Sohn tells Seana Smith and Madison Mills.  Sohn underlines the VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF (NLR) as one of his preferred picks as nuclear energy providers become a key asset in expanding artificial intelligence infrastructures. "Single stock ETFs are a boom for issuers because of the high fees involved. They are trading vehicles for highly trained professionals who have a high conviction," Sohn explains. In the video above, Sohn discusses the optimism surrounding ETF inflows projected for 2025 while noting the risks expected for markets.

CBRE transaction data points to CRE recovery after 2-Year slump

CBRE Group (CBRE) reported the first increase in real estate transaction volume in over two years during the third quarter of 2024. Janus Henderson Investors portfolio manager of global real estate Gregory Kuhl joins Catalysts to analyze the implications of this transaction data for the broader commercial real estate sector. According to Kuhl, transaction data reveals a sharp decline throughout 2022 and 2023, followed by a recovery in 2024. He explains that higher interest rates necessitated a commercial real estate market revaluation, stating, "That basically has taken place over the last 2 years." With buyers and sellers now reaching consensus on price levels conducive to transactions, Kuhl anticipates further improvement in the first quarter of 2025. For a full analysis of how Kuhl believes interest rates will influence commercial real estate sector performance in 2025, viewers can watch the full video above.

Housing stalemate: Do sellers have to lower their expectations?

Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather joins Asking for a Trend to explain that while an increase in available home listings appears helpful to prospective homebuyers, these homes may be sitting on the market longer due to overpricing and various other realty obstacles. Fairweather discusses the "stalemate" situation where homeowners feel hesitant to lower their asking prices because they’re holding onto low mortgage rates. "A lot of homeowners record low mortgage rates, and they're not really willing to budge on price because they feel like it's not worth it for them to sell and then have to buy again if they're not getting a high enough price on the home that they currently have," Fairweather explains. Fairweather says the stalemate is going to have to "resolve somehow," mentioning homeowners lowering their price or delisting as possible answers. She goes on to comment on the trajectory of mortgage rates in the latter half of 2025, believing they will "stay flat" while exhibiting volatility that is to be expected.

2025 is a 'big year for nuclear': Why Vistra and Talen are top picks

Constellation Energy (CEG) is in focus after the company secured a $1 billion government contract to supply power to numerous governement agencies. The record-setting deal comes as Big Tech companies turn to nuclear energy to power artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. Jefferies managing director of US power, utilities, and clean energy research Paul Zimbardo joins Catalysts with Seana Smith and Madison Mills to discuss his outlook for the nuclear energy space in 2025. "I think 2025 is going to be a big year for nuclear, both [for] existing nuclear as well as new nuclear," Zimbardo says, explaining, "And it comes back to a topic that we've been following closely. It's just the power demand from data centers, and AI is accelerating." The analyst says related stocks still have room to run, with Vistra (VST) and Talen Energy (TLN) as his top picks. While there may be some concerns among investors that President-elect Donald Trump's policies could be negative for nuclear energy, Zimbardo notes the nuclear shift comes from the necessity for more power for AI data centers. "There's no real options besides the existing nuclear plant. If you want to add your data centers in the next five to seven years." Zimbardo expects hyperscalers like Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), and Meta Platforms (META) to continue to acquire nuclear power as well as "all of the players in large size as well."

Regulated utilities positioned to drive AI infrastructure expansion

Vistra (VST) and Constellation Energy (CEG) saw massive gains in 2024 as the next phase of the so-called AI Revolution looks to build out the infrastructure for data centers, starting with an energy grid capable of supplying and powering them. "As we think about this theme, there's so much investment that's going to be needed to prepare a system that hasn't seen power demand growth in over a decade, to be able to actually connect all of these facilities to the grid," Carly Davenport, Goldman Sachs Vice President in Global Investment Research covering US utilities (XLU), tells Madison Mills on Catalysts. "So we think the regulated utilities are very well positioned to do that, and we think it's going to drive an expansion in their capital investment." Davenport also speaks about investment opportunities seen in NextEra Energy (NEE) and the potential for nuclear energy to power the AI infrastructure set up by President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Expect another 'sluggish' housing market in 2025: Broker's advice

Sotheby's International Realty Global Real Estate Advisor Jenna Stauffer appears on Wealth with Brad Smith to provide tips for homebuyers attempting to navigate a sluggish market. Stauffer notes that the housing market saw affordability and inventory constraints, which she believes will stick around this year and lead to downward pressure on home prices. Her advice for home buyers is to stay persistent, noting sellers are still pricing homes based on past market conditions. "There are some sellers that still have priced their homes according to, maybe, prices we were seeing more back in 2022," Stauffer explains.
