This Mistake Could Cost Investors in 2025
Investors have gotten good news lately. The U.S. stock market reacted positively to a stable unemployment rate of 4.1 % in June 2025, which was lower than the expected 4.3%.
A dip in the Consumer Price Index (a metric used to gauge inflation) from 3.3% in May 2024 to 2.4% in May 2025 helped alleviate concerns about inflation. The Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rates steady between 4.25% and 4.50% in June 2025, while the next rate cut is likely scheduled for September 2025.
Against the backdrop of encouraging economic numbers and reduced concerns about tariff wars, the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index hit record highs.
