The Schwab Center for Financial Research (SCFR), which provides
top-quality research, timely market insights and practical guidance
for investors, today released its annual market outlook, Schwab
Market Perspective: 2025 Outlook, which highlights the most
important economic and market trends that investors should consider
for the year ahead.
The Schwab Market Perspective: 2025 Outlook provides
perspectives on U.S. stocks and the U.S. economy, fixed income,
corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and a global outlook. SCFR also
released its 2025 Planning and Wealth Management Outlook, which
provides guidance on how to stay on track in 2025 to help reach
your financial goals.
2025 U.S. Stocks and Economy
Outlook
“There will likely be myriad
economic crosscurrents at play in 2025, stemming from uncertainty
around tariff, immigration, and tax policies. On the pro-growth
side, the prospect of less-stringent regulations and lower taxes
are at odds with the prospect of aggressive hikes in tariffs on
imported goods and a major reduction in the labor force. For U.S.
equities, the upside is that momentum and breadth are strong
heading into the new year; but that doesn’t rule out more
volatility at the index level, which we think is much more likely
given the increased likelihood of stickier inflation and more
wobbles in the labor market.”
Liz Ann Sonders, Chief Investment
Strategist, and Kevin Gordon, Senior Investment Strategist, Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc.
2025 Fixed Income
Outlook
“It looks like another bumpy ride
is in store for fixed income investors in 2025, with a wide range
of potential outcomes. The bond market is caught between the
Federal Reserve's plans to cut interest rates, and the risks to
higher inflation and debt levels in 2025 from potential policy
decisions made in Washington D.C. We are taking a cautious approach
to duration and credit risk but recognize that periods of high
volatility and rising yields can provide an opportunity for
investors looking to capture more income over the long run.”
Kathy Jones, Chief Fixed Income
Strategist, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
2025 Corporate Bond
Outlook
“Our 2025 corporate bond outlook
in a nutshell: Strong fundamentals, rich valuations. Like the
resilient economy, corporations generally remain strong as profits
grow and cash balances rise. That's been a key driver of the
outperformance so far this year, as falling credit spreads have
pulled up corporate bond prices relative to Treasuries. That
performance will be tough to replicate because spreads are so
tight, but we still have a favorable view on corporate bond
investments given the strong economic backdrop.”
Collin Martin, Fixed Income
Strategist, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
2025 Municipal Bond
Outlook
“We expect the muni market to be
characterized by a tale of two half-years in 2025. Changes to tax
policy will likely dominate the first half of the year and then
munis should adjust over the second half of the year. We're
cautious about longer-term bonds and lower-rated issuers going into
2025. The outcome of the election has raised the probability that
inflation and yields move higher. Credit conditions for most
issuers are favorable and many issuers are entering 2025 with
strong reserves that they can tap into if there's a slowdown in
revenues.”
Cooper Howard, Fixed Income
Strategist, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
2025 Global Outlook
“2025 may bring hurdles for
stocks in the form of uncertain trade policy, tighter fiscal
policy, and slower than average growth in the global economy and
corporate earnings. All these may drive volatility. But improving
growth, along with a rise in stock valuations, may support solid
returns overall for international stocks in 2025, with differing
opportunities by region.”
Jeffrey Kleintop, Chief Global
Investment Strategist, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
2025 Planning and Wealth
Management Outlook
“With a new administration in
Washington that could bring changes to tax policy and influence
some economic factors, 2025 will likely be a year of 'shifting
gears' for investors. Perhaps that is a gradual shift, for example,
in how investors plan for taxes and manage concerns about
inflation. As a result, it’s our view that some investors may
choose to make small adjustments to their wealth management plans
in 2025, but in general, investors should keep in mind that the
most effective plans take the long view.”

of Financial Planning, Retirement Income, and Wealth Management,
