Big-Tech Rally Continues: S&P 500 Could Return 11% In 2024
Portfolio Pulse from Neil Dennis
Analysts predict an 11% return for the S&P 500 index in 2024, buoyed by lower interest rates and a soft landing for the economy. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) has mirrored the index's performance, with an 18-19% increase in 2023. DataTrek suggests the Russell 3,000 index for those seeking more exposure to lower rates, highlighting the Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company Index ETF (FNDA) as an option. Despite large moves in big tech stocks, DataTrek sees potential for further gains in 2024, especially for Nvidia (NVDA), Alphabet (GOOGL), Apple (AAPL), and Microsoft (MSFT), which could significantly contribute to the S&P 500's performance due to their substantial market cap weight.
