Tom Lee, head of research at Fund Strat Global Advisors, shared his views on CNBC about the impact of the recent elections on the market and the future of Bitcoin and the economy as a whole.
Market Reaction to Elections
Lee noted a significant market rally following the elections, linking it to the return of capital that had been withdrawn due to election-related uncertainties.
Bitcoin's Potential
Lee argues that although changes in taxes and spending may not effectively address the deficit, Bitcoin could serve as a hedge. He predicts Bitcoin's price may surpass $100,000 this year, bolstered by easing regulatory pressures.
Support for Fed's Rate Cut
Lee supports the recent Fed's rate cut of 25 basis points, believing this move will benefit the market. He anticipates a 5-10% rise in the S&P 500 by year-end due to election rallies, Fed's stance, and seasonal trends.
Lee believes the current economic trends and Fed policy changes favor markets and investors. His forecasts for Bitcoin and the S&P 500 indicate positive trends.
