Happy New Year! SPY makes a break for 600, and it’s an exciting time for investors as BTC goes above 102k, showcasing the resilience of the cryptocurrency market. Housing remains steady with no signs of rate decreases, which has led to a stable real estate environment despite economic fluctuations. Will SPY finally close above 600 as we enter the new year with heightened anticipation? We have two projected rate cuts by the Fed, but for what month exactly can we expect these changes to take place? This week’s data should be a great indicator of market sentiment and where we are headed for 2025, providing insights that could guide our investment strategies. Be on the lookout for the FOMC meeting minutes, jobless claims, the performance of the 10-year note, and the unemployment rate, as these will be critical in shaping our understanding of the economic landscape and potential opportunities in the months to come.
