Stock Market Today: Dow slides for fourth day to kick off 2025
- But major indexes like the S&P 500 have retreated since then. In recent trading, both the S&P 500 and Dow were on track for their worst start to a year since 2021. That year, the S&P 500 kicked things off with a 1.5% decline, while the Dow fell 1.3%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
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.
