Insights From Analysts
Ahead of the first trading day in the new month of March, Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research, highlighted that this is &#8220;a solid month overall&#8221; but the bulls start to show up only after mid-month.

Mapping the historical data 1950 onwards, Detrick added that March, April, and May are usually solid months in post-election years.

He further highlighted that every fifth year or the years ending with &#8216;5,&#8217; tend to be quite strong, except 2015 during which S&amp;P 500 was lower by less than 1%.

Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates suggests that the S&amp;P 500, currently riding a &#8220;very strong rally,&#8221; is due for a correction towards its rising 200-day moving average, which stood at 5701.50 as of last Friday.
According to Navellier, the index has yet to test this key moving average which did not happen in 2024, making a pullback increasingly likely. He says that the timing of this correction, whether in February or March, hinges on &#8220;multiple policy announcements by the White House,&#8221; which can be triggered by either economic or geopolitical events.
Navellier contends that the White House has been the &#8220;primary driver of volatility in stocks,&#8221; making short-term predictions difficult. He further asserts that this deliberate uncertainty serves the President&#8217;s strategic objectives.

Carbon TerraVault Expected to Transport and Sequester up to 3.6 Million Metric Tons of CO2 Emissions Annually
LONG BEACH, Calif. and DURHAM, N.C., Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- California Resources Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRC#NYSE">CRC</a>), and its carbon management business, Carbon TerraVault (CTV), today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Net Power Inc.
