BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, expects the AI boom to continue boosting U.S. stocks next year and support broader economic growth, although rising U.S. debt levels may threaten its optimistic forecast for 2025. The firm stated that innovations in AI technology could benefit U.S. stocks more than European stocks. The firm indicated that while U.S. economic growth may cool slightly next year, the Federal Reserve is unlikely to significantly lower interest rates, as inflation remains sticky and above the central bank's target. The firm predicts that rates will not drop from the current 4.5%-4.75% to below 4%. Ongoing price pressures from factors such as geopolitical divisions and infrastructure spending could put pressure on the bond market. #Binance
