The U.S. stock market is set to face its first major test of 2025 with the upcoming jobs report, as investors hope for stable economic indicators to support equity gains. Following a strong performance in 2024, stocks experienced fluctuations in December and early January. Analysts are looking for signs that the labor market remains robust, while cautioning against an overheated economy, which could lead to inflation concerns. The December report, expected on January 10, will be closely monitored to gauge the true health of the labor market amidst recent volatility.
