"Thrive in 2025?"

Good Morning!

Futures in the green at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on end-of-year portfolio repositioning following a volatile year that currently shows all the major indices finishing the year in the green.

From Bloomberg

"US equity futures gained, setting stocks on course to snap three days of losses and build on this year’s powerful Wall Street rally.
Contracts for the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 were about 0.4% higher, signaling a rebound from Monday’s declines of more than 1%. European trading was muted, with several markets shut on New Year’s Eve and shortened sessions in London and Paris.
As equities look to end 2024 on a positive note, investors have much to ponder. Some are concerned about the stamina of this year’s 24% S&P 500 rally, driven by the so-called Magnificent Seven cohort of tech giants. And there’s a range of uncertainties to confront in 2025, from President-elect Donald Trump’s protectionist policies to the outlook for central bank policy and the health of the European and Chinese economies.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was steady, on course for its best year since 2015 in a rally fueled by Trump’s reelection in November and the Federal Reserve’s less dovish policy pivot. An index of Treasuries looks set to eke out a small gain for the year, with yields edging lower on Tuesday.
“Investors are in wait-and-see mode,” Noel Dixon, senior macro strategist at State Street Corp., told Bloomberg Television. “We don’t know what the retaliatory effects are going to be and how the Fed is ultimately going to react to those tariffs.”"
