US Stocks Face Risks from Election and Federal Reserve in 2024

Reported 12 months ago

After a strong first half of 2024 with the S&P 500 up 15%, investors are wary of potential risks from political uncertainties, Federal Reserve policy changes, and the dominance of big tech companies. As the US presidential election approaches, focusing on factors like tax policies and market reactions to candidates' performance could impact equities. Concerns also arise from the narrow market advance, concentrating gains in tech giants like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon. The economy's ability to balance cooling inflation and steady growth remains a key uncertainty, affecting the Fed's potential rate cuts. Investors may diversify into underperforming sectors as they anticipate market volatility and potential shifts in stock performance.
