In the Year of the Dragon, historically known for bringing prosperity and strength, the U.S. stock market is anticipated to continue its upward trajectory, according to Tom Lee of Fundstrat Global Advisors. Analysis of market performance since 1871 shows that during Dragon years, U.S. equities have seen an average gain of 12.7%. For 2024, the Year of the Dragon, which starts on February 10, Lee predicts the S&P 500 could rise to as high as 5,350 points, marking a 6.4% increase from its recent closing.
