BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, leading an $11 trillion asset management firm, has advised investors to buy stocks during significant market dips. His comments come as he anticipates a volatile year for markets in 2025, expecting elevated inflation in the short term and a lot of volatility over the next six months. Fink's advice to 'buy the dip' is seen as a strategy to capitalize on market downturns, reflecting his long-term optimism despite the predicted turbulence. He foresees a 'big economic boom' driven by technological advancements, particularly in artificial intelligence, and believes the U.S. stock market will be pushed higher by the country's tech advantage in the coming years. Earlier today, the S&P500 plunged sharply lower amid trade tensions and concerns about the health of the U.S. economy. The price of Bitcoin, which tends to be correlated with other risk assets, also dropped to an intraday low of $81,688, though it has since pared some of the losses in tandem with U.S. stocks.
