Market Update | The January Barometer Says 2025 Is Bullish—Should You Believe It?

🎙Welcome to Market Dive, your deep dive into the world of finance and investing!

Nika and Kian will break down the latest turbulence in the stock market, fueled by the emergence of China’s DeepSeek AI and its impact on Nvidia and other major tech stocks. They’ll also explore why hedge funds are pulling back while retail investors are seizing the moment. With the Federal Reserve signaling no immediate rate cuts and inflation staying above target, what does this mean for AI investments and the broader market? Plus, they’ll analyze whether the January Barometer’s bullish signal for 2025 holds weight.

Key Highlights:

🔹 Why did DeepSeek AI trigger a tech sell-off, and should you be concerned?
🔹 Retail vs. Hedge Funds: Who’s making the right call on AI stocks?
🔹 Can the AI boom continue despite Federal Reserve policies?
🔹 Will inflation and interest rates slow down market growth?
🔹 What does the January Barometer say about 2025, and should you trust it?

 

The AI investment landscape is shifting as China’s DeepSeek AI shakes up the competitive field, leading to a temporary sell-off in Nvidia ($NVDA) and other AI stocks. While hedge funds stayed cautious, retail investors jumped in, with record-breaking buy volumes for Nvidia shares. Despite short-term volatility, Microsoft ($MSFT) and Meta ($META) remain committed to massive AI spending—$80 billion and $60 billion+, respectively. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates steady and ongoing inflation concerns add another layer of uncertainty. Historically, a strong January market performance signals a bullish year, but is this time different? Nika and Kian discuss what investors should watch for in the coming months.
