BofA Flags S&P 500 Pullback Risk Amid Inflation Concerns
Bank of America has lowered its year-end S&P 500 target to 7,400, warning that the market is overdue for a pullback due to seasonal weakness, persistent inflation, and rate hike expectations. While the bank remains bullish on the long-term outlook, it advises caution in the near term as the index trades about 3% below its recent peaks.
According to a client note highlighted by GN stocks/sp500, the bank’s strategists argue the market is statistically due for a correction, noting the S&P 500 has only experienced one significant dip this year compared to the historical average of three or more. They also point out that the index remains roughly 3% below its recent record high, underscoring the lack of recent volatility despite the broader market's strong year-to-date performance.
