From Investing.com:

The S&P 500 closed 2023 with a 24% gain, a good sign for stocks in 2024 according to market strategists. Strong annual performance often leads to a positive following year, with momentum and solid fundamentals supporting this trend. Experts predict the S&P 500 finishing 2024 in the 4,850 to 4,950 range, but potentially higher. Cut to 2024 may depend on data from the US employment report. Shifting economic conditions may still impact these predictions. But data indicates a potential positive year for the market, following historical trends and forecasting positive growth in 2024.
