Market speculation picks up to start 2025 as crypto stocks jump
SHARE

At the start of 2025, the stock market is abuzz with activity. Cryptocurrency trades are on the rise, meme stocks are gaining momentum, and the broader market is surging without any clear catalysts. It seems that animal spirits are running wild in the trading world.

On the first trading day of the new year, many speculative sectors of the stock market experienced significant gains. Stocks linked to the price of bitcoin saw an uptick as the cryptocurrency climbed back above $96,000. Companies like Microstrategy, Coinbase, Robinhood, Mara Holdings, and Riot Platforms also saw their shares rise after a successful 2024. In a surprising turn of events, a crypto token named “fartcoin” skyrocketed by 45%, now boasting a market value of $1.38 billion.

Meanwhile, retail traders active on social media platforms were intrigued by a cryptic post from online personality Roaring Kitty. The post featured a gif from the “Chappelle’s Show,” leading to speculation about potential stock picks. Unity Software and GameStop were among the companies that saw increased interest following the post.

Semiconductor stocks, which were the stars of 2024, continued to perform well, with Nvidia gaining 1.6% on Thursday. Additionally, golf stock Topgolf Callaway Brands saw an 8.5% surge after receiving an upgrade from Jefferies. The investment bank raised its price target for the golf equipment maker, citing oversold shares.

As speculation gripped the market, major stock indexes saw gains in the early days of 2025. The Dow Industrial Average surged by up to 300 points before tapering off, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite both rose by 0.4%.

The market’s recent movements have drawn comparisons to the rallies following Donald Trump’s election victory in November. Investors initially bet on pro-business policies driving economic growth, but concerns about inflation and supply chain disruptions tempered gains towards the end of 2024. With the incoming administration’s focus on deregulation, some investors are hopeful for a resurgence of “animal spirits,” while others worry about the concentration of power in the hands of a few.

In conclusion, the stock market is off to a volatile yet exciting start in 2025. With cryptocurrency trades, meme stocks, and semiconductor companies leading the way, investors are in for an eventful year ahead.
