Deep dives
U.S. Economy and Stock Market Dynamics
The U.S. economy has been performing reasonably well, benefiting from previous stimulus measures, but the stock market's high valuations raise concerns. Despite impressive growth figures, including an unemployment rate at around 4%, the stock market remains expensive, with S&P 500 stocks trading at historically high earnings ratios. It's highlighted that the current rise in stock prices may not be sustainable, as the market's sentiment has been buoyed by enormous liquidity rather than solid economic fundamentals. Additionally, the potential for external factors, such as political changes and economic policies, could create volatility in market expectations moving into 2025.
