These were the top-searched money topics of 2024
Published On Dec 31, 2024, 6:00 AM
Investopedia identified the most popular financial search terms of 2024, with 'Inflation' topping the list due to its impact on consumer sentiment and the recent election. Other popular topics included 'tariffs,' linked to the presidential race, and 'Nvidia,' which saw a significant stock price increase following strong financial results and a stock split. Additionally, concerns about national debt, homeowner insurance, and bitcoin remained high. The Federal Reserve's interest rate policies were also a major subject, as was the growing interest in sports betting and election betting, with predictions of future relevance for tariffs and investments tied to the upcoming Trump presidency.
Stock Forecasts
NVDA
Positive
Nvidia has shown impressive revenue growth and completed a stock split, raising investor interest. Given the continued focus on AI and technology, Nvidia's stock is likely to build on its gains.
SPY
Negative
The rising interest in tariffs and their implications for consumer goods could negatively impact companies that are heavily reliant on imports. This might pressurize consumer sentiment further if trade tensions escalate.
