    In this episode:
    • 2024 concluded with impressive performances for the S&P 500, which gained over +60% in two years. However, leadership remained concentrated, and the equal-weight market showed significant disparity.
    • ETFs dominated the landscape, supporting mega-cap stocks in key sectors such as Artificial Intelligence, energy transition, and demographics. Meanwhile, the dollar gained 6% against the euro, and Bitcoin attracted significant volumes, reflecting growing diversification.
    • 2025 may bring greater convergence among global markets, but volatility is set to increase. Growth will be moderate, in a context shaped by Trumponomics policies, geopolitical uncertainties, and inflation-related challenges.
    The new year will require a more dynamic investment approach, with particular attention to opportunities outside the United States. Factors such as reforms in Europe and stimulus measures in China could enhance risk-reward ratios. Investors will need to balance risks and opportunities in an evolving landscape.
