What are the primary factors contributing to the anticipated decline in the U.S. stock market in early 2025?

\"The U.S. stock market's 2024 gains, exceeding company earnings and economic fundamentals, are unsustainable, leading to a predicted downturn in early 2025.\" Eight factors contribute: stock market growth outpacing earnings, a bond market break from Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, persistent inflation, falling homebuilder stocks due to excess inventory, U.S. government fiscal issues, global conflicts, climate change's economic impact, and the potential for negative consequences from President Trump's policies.
