Equities vs Crypto: A Tale of Two Markets
-

The S&P 500 is climbing, supported by strong earnings, AI tech, and resilient macro data. Small-cap strength in the Russell 2000 signals confidence in domestic growth, while corporate profits increasingly justify high valuations.
Key highlights:
S&P 500 earnings growth tracking +11% YoY for Dec quarter
AI-linked chipmakers and tech giants driving momentum
Dow Jones up 1% YTD, Nasdaq down ~2.6%
At the same time, crypto markets are struggling—Bitcoin fell below $65,000, marking a one-year low. The contrast underscores investors’ rotation toward assets with visible earnings growth.
