Market Outlook for 2025
The S&P 500 has shown impressive growth over the past two years, leading to a cautiously optimistic outlook for 2025. Despite a strong market performance, experts suggest that investors should temper expectations for further outsized gains, highlighting a projected return of around 6%.
