First Week with Walter Todd

Turning the Page

January 2, 2025

A new year, a new month, and a new First Week from Walter Todd. He sat down to chat about how the markets finished the year and what to watch in 2025.

In this month’s video:

  • Market Highlights: 2024 showed strong gains, but the market remains top-heavy, with the median stock rising only about 10%.
  • Federal Reserve: The Federal Reserve’s meeting in December marked a turning point and Jerome Powell’s tone seems much more hawkish.
  • Busy January: There are a lot of potential market-moving political events happening this month: House Speaker elections (January 3), electoral vote confirmation (January 6), the presidential inauguration (January 20), and anticipated executive orders on topics like immigration, tariffs, and energy.
