All three of the major indexes (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) rebound from a selloff fueled by the Federal Reserve's 2025 forecast coming in more hawkish than expected. Haywood Wealth Management president and co-founder Justin Haywood joins Wealth! Host Brad Smith to break down what investors should consider when positioning their portfolio.
"I would call yesterday's move a hawkish cut," Haywood says, adding, "I think the Fed was probably reluctant to make this cut. They may have backed themselves into a corner in a sense with their rhetoric in September. And I think they felt like they needed to make this cut."
Looking forward to 2025, he says, "the sentiment should be relatively bullish" despite uncertainty around President-elect Donald Trump's policies. "You want to ride this out," he tells Yahoo Finance.
Haywood outlines his top picks, saying, "Technology remains a strong play moving into 2025." He names Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), and Palantir (PLTR).
