Is the stock market set for a crash in 2025?

The stock market has historically been favorable for investors, but recent trends show that a few major companies dominate the S&P 500, with seven stocks comprising 33% of the index. This concentration poses significant risks, particularly due to growing antitrust scrutiny.
Alphabet (Google) faces a potential breakup following a U.S. ruling labeling it as an illegal monopoly, which could disrupt its AI and search dominance. Similarly, Apple is under investigation for allegedly restricting competition through its ecosystem. These antitrust challenges could impact investor confidence and destabilize the stock market, raising concerns about a potential market downturn in 2025.
