  • Why the Dow had such a miserable December versus other indexes. Warren Buffett is topping up his stake in this high-margin internet name.

The article from MarketWatch discusses the early 2025 stock market trends, highlighting a positive start for the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures, which were up by 0.3% before the market opened. This optimism is attributed to several factors including a robust U.S. jobs report for December, which showed an addition of 216,000 jobs, surpassing expectations. Despite this, there are concerns about inflation and potential Federal Reserve actions, with investors closely watching for any signals on interest rate adjustments. The article also touches on the performance of major tech stocks like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, which saw gains in premarket trading. Additionally, there's mention of geopolitical tensions and their potential impact on market sentiment, alongside sector-specific news like the energy sector reacting to oil price movements and the electric vehicle market responding to new regulations and technological advancements. Overall, the market is described as cautiously optimistic, balancing economic strength with various uncertainties.
