Veteran market analyst Tom Lee has projected that the S&P 500 will reach 7,000 by mid-2025, following a rally that he previously predicted. This bullish outlook is echoed by other analysts, with Goldman Sachs noting that investor confidence, characterized by 'Animal spirits', is driving the index higher. Additionally, strategist Mary Ann Bartels forecasts that the S&P 500 could rise as high as 7,400, suggesting a market environment reminiscent of the late 1990s tech boom. In a broader context, analysts anticipate that the DAX index will lead a significant period of outperformance for European markets in 2025.
