2024 Market Outlook: Small-Caps Primed to Outperform as Returns Moderate
-
The stock market will have positive returns in 2024, but smaller than the strong gains in 2023.
-
There could be a stock market surge in Q4 2024 if the Fed cuts interest rates in the second half of the year as expected.
-
The "Magnificent Seven" stocks that soared in 2023 likely won't be the top market leaders again in 2024.
-
Small-cap stocks will be big winners in 2024 due to attractive valuations and benefiting more from lower interest rates.
-
Investing in small-cap ETFs like Vanguard's VBR and VB funds is a better strategy than trying to pick individual small-cap stocks.
