  • Stocks are flirting with a correction, but a veteran investment chief shook off concerns and predicted a 27% rally is coming before the end of 2025.

The article from Business Insider discusses the current state of the stock market, highlighting a significant sell-off and the potential for a market correction. Economist David Demmert from Main Street Research predicts that despite the recent downturn, the market could see a rally in the first quarter of 2025. He bases this prediction on several factors including the anticipation of lower interest rates, a potential pause in Federal Reserve rate hikes, and the possibility of a soft economic landing rather than a recession. Demmert also notes that while there are concerns about inflation and economic slowdown, positive earnings reports and a decrease in geopolitical tensions could bolster investor confidence. However, he cautions that the path to recovery might be volatile, with short-term fluctuations expected before any sustained upward trend.
