Analysts: stock markets to grow in 2025

Stock markets are expected to perform well in 2025, driven by economic recovery and falling interest rates, though analysts predict growth will not match the highs of 2023 and 2024. U.S. stocks are forecast to outperform European markets, with gold prices also likely to rise. Marek Malina from Portu highlighted the positive outlook for U.S. equities under Donald Trump's administration, while European stocks face uncertainty due to potential trade tariffs. S&P 500 growth of around 10% is anticipated, aligning with historical averages. Analysts recommend diversifying portfolios with stocks, bonds, and alternative investments.
