What will 2025 bring to the stock market?

[Fernando]

Did you hear Trump today taking responsibility for lower gasoline, grocery, and ranting on low egg prices?
What is he talking about? Gasoline prices went down because of expectation of slowing growth economy.
I don't see prices decreasing. Instead they increased this year in such a short period of time more apparent than with Biden.
I was at Costco today and there were no eggs. Trump said egg prices dropped 90%. Trump is so out of touch with Main Street.
There will be no eggs for Easter. No toys for Christmas.
And the flowers went up a dollar.
Been long time since I remember Costco flowers going up. Even though it went up this week, I still bought it.

White House Doubles Down On Claims Gas Hit $1.98 A Gallon This Week, Despite Reality​

A reporter asked Trump when Americans can expect to see inflation driven by his tariff-heavy economic plan. He called the reporter untruthful before falsely claiming that gas reached under $2 a gallon in some states. From CNN:

Trump was responding to a journalist who asked him at the White House how long Americans can expect to experience higher prices because of his trade policies.Trump claimed Americans have already seen the situation "get much better," alleged the reporter is not "truthful," then added, "You have gasoline that hit $1.98 yesterday in a couple of states."

That's not true. No state had an average gas price even close to $1.98 per gallon on Wednesday. The two states that were tied with the lowest average gas price on Wednesday, Mississippi and Tennessee, were both at $2.70 per gallon, according to data provided by AAA.

In fact, the national average was over $3 per gallon at $3.17. We know this, because there are multiple tools used by journalists and consumers to track the price of gas, like AAA and GasBuddy, and that even allow consumers to locate the cheapest gas in a state.

TRUMP LIES SO EASILY THAT IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS, AND WE HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN HIM.

Trump opened his "big mouth" and spooked the stock market. Its downward trend is heading back to low point this year.
Looks like his buddy Charles Schwab not getting all his $2 billion profit from inside trading.

Gasoline prices went down because of expectation of slowing growth economy.

Which is higher than a year ago still. About where we were in August or Sept last year...hardly a crash.

Trump says egg prices are falling. Some experts say the claim is misleading.

Consumer egg prices have climbed 25% since January, data shows.

Trump says egg prices are falling. Some experts say the claim is misleading.​

President Donald Trump this week disputed criticism over high egg prices in an exclusive interview with ABC News, faulting his predecessor for the price hike and claiming what he described as a recent decline in egg prices.

“You remember the big thing with eggs? They hit me the first week, ‘Eggs, eggs, eggs,’ like it was my fault. I said, ‘I didn't cause this problem. This problem was caused by [Joe] Biden,’” Trump told ABC News’ Terry Moran.

“Egg prices are down,” Trump later added.

The remarks echoed claims made repeatedly by Trump since he took office, but his assessment of egg prices is potentially misleading, some food economists told ABC News.

Retail egg prices, or the prices paid by shoppers, have climbed over the early months of Trump’s term, meaning household budgets have been slammed by worsening egg costs, the economists said.

“Egg prices have been increasing at the retail level and that’s really important when assessing the claim President Trump made yesterday,” said David Ortega, a food economist at Michigan State University.

Parke Wilde, a food economist at Tufts University, added: "I encourage people who are reading the news about food prices to focus on consumer prices, not wholesale prices, because that’s what real consumers care about."

Economists also largely rejected the attribution of blame for egg prices to any president, whether former President Joe Biden or Trump, saying a president exerts minimal influence over day-to-day egg costs.

“The president has little or no control over egg prices,” Ortega said. “Any changes, whether egg prices go up or down, have almost nothing to do with what the president or any other policymaker is doing.”

Despite Trump’s claim that eggs prices are falling, the price paid by shoppers has increased significantly since he took office, food economists said.

The average retail price of a dozen eggs climbed from $4.95 in January to $6.22 in March, the most recent month for which data is available. That change in price amounted to a 25% spike, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows.

WHEN TRUMP LIES ABOUT EGG PRICES, HE LIES AND MISLEAD ABOUT EVERTYTHING.

2025 will be a great year. Just rotate into the right markets.

Every year can be a good year for an investor by moving into different financial assets.
Even good buys during recession.

We are down to $2.49 or less locally.
