Market Valuation Dynamics

The significant re-rating of market valuations in 2024 caught many by surprise, as valuations rebounded to levels last seen in 2020-2021 despite tighter monetary policy and rising interest rates. This upward trend suggests that valuations might not act as a ceiling as previously anticipated. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding whether valuation will matter in 2025; if it does, this could lead to a stagnant market, but if it doesn't, the market could risk entering bubble territory. This key question about the role of imagination in valuation is paramount for investors navigating the upcoming year.
