Are U.S. markets in for a rough ride? Here’s what experts are saying and what investors need to know
U.S. stock market looks stretched. Valuations are near record highs, growth is slowing, and inflation still hovers around 4%. The OECD sees GDP slipping to 1.6% in 2025, while the Fed delays rate cuts. Credit card delinquencies hit a 12-year high, and profits are tightening. With the S&P 500 heavily reliant on tech giants, even a small shock could spark volatility. Analysts warn of smaller gains, sharper swings, and a tougher road ahead for investors.
