S&P 500 7000 By Year End 2025? | Multiples vs Earnings Growth | Inflation Still Too High? | Probabilities Calculated Using Options | Fair Share on Taxes?
By Derek Moore
Show Summary:
Derek Moore and Jay Pestrichelli gather once again to discuss whether inflation is too high for the Fed to aggressively cut rates more. Then, they talk about the probability of the S&P 500 closing or getting to 7000 by year end 2025. Plus, is inflation still too high looking at Core CPI and CPI Supercore for the fed to cut rates as much as projected. Later, they go into some myths on the US debt and foreign ownership of treasuries, US Dollar Index against some resistance levels, what does paying your fair share in taxes mean, and more.
