Seasoned investor Tom Lee predicts a strong performance for the U.S. stock market in the coming year, driven by favorable conditions and renewed investor confidence.
The Fundstrat co-founder recently highlighted how the current economic environment is likely to sustain upward momentum in equities. He anticipates that 2025 will see a surge of investor activity, with significant capital flowing into the S&P 500.
According to Lee, concerns about the Federal Reserve’s inflation-fighting measures and economic slowdowns are waning.
With the election behind us, he expects companies to embrace growth opportunities, including mergers and capital market activities, bolstering stock market performance.
Lee also emphasized the impact of sidelined capital on market dynamics. He previously estimated that up to $6 trillion in untapped funds could propel markets higher, as recession fears kept many investors cautious throughout 2024.
As corporate earnings continue to demonstrate resilience, he believes this under-investment could lead to a robust rally in the year ahead.
