Episode notes
2024-25 Market Outlook
- Mel Mattison's bullish S&P 500 prediction of 6,000 by end-of-2024 proved accurate, driven by AI boom, COVID wealth effect, and deficit spending.
- He now forecasts a volatile 2025, with a potential 10-30% correction before reaching 7,000, fueled by administrative policy.
Inflation and Yields
- Mattison believes current market worries about inflation and high 10-year yields are misplaced, citing contained energy prices and global economic slowdowns.
- He anticipates a countertrend rally in 10-year yields, potentially down to 4%, due to factors like tax-loss harvesting and portfolio rebalancing.
Social Security and Market Volatility
- Mattison links the Social Security issue to market volatility, suggesting an earlier-than-expected correction in 2025.
- He believes the incoming Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, might use a market sell-off to push for dramatic policy changes.
