The market is focused on the Fed's policy and sector rotation, with US stocks surging to new all-time highs
BlockBeats News, December 28th, the US stock market is currently at a historical high, with the S&P 500 index only about 1% away from breaking through 7000 points for the first time, poised to achieve its eighth consecutive monthly gain, which would be the longest monthly winning streak since 2017-2018. "Momentum is clearly on the bullish side," said Paul Nolte, Senior Wealth Advisor at Murphy & Sylvest Wealth Management, "unless there is an external unexpected event, I believe the path of least resistance for the stock market is still upward." The Federal Reserve meeting minutes will be a key focus for the market next week, with investors keenly watching when the Fed might cut rates further.
Investors are also waiting for Trump to nominate a new Fed chair to replace Powell, and any hints from Trump could influence the market around next week. The S&P 500 index has risen nearly 18% year-to-date, while the Nasdaq has risen 22%. However, the technology sector, which has been a key driver of this bull market, has recently struggled, while other market sectors have performed well. Anthony Saglimbeni, Chief Market Strategist at Ameriprise Financial, said these market trends indicate that funds are rotating into sectors with more modest valuations. (FXStreet)

The IMF Managing Director issued a rare warning, specifically naming the United States’ debt path as “unsustainable” and pointing out that fiscal consolidation in various countries is seriously lagging. What's even more dangerous is that persistent inflation may force the Federal Reserve to continue raising interest rates, increasing financing costs and creating a vicious cycle of "high debt—high interest rates—even higher debt."
