  • Many Wall Street bears have retreated in the face of this year's blistering stock rally. The few that remain see a steep correction on the horizon.

The article from Business Insider discusses a bearish outlook for the stock market extending into 2025, as predicted by several Wall Street analysts. Despite a strong performance in 2023, concerns are mounting due to persistent inflation, potential economic slowdown, and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy tightening. Analysts like Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson and JPMorgan's Marko Kolanovic have expressed worries about an overvalued market, with Wilson suggesting that the S&P 500 could see a significant drop. The article highlights fears of a recession, the impact of high interest rates, and the possibility of a credit crunch as reasons for the pessimistic forecast. Additionally, geopolitical tensions and the upcoming U.S. presidential election are seen as adding uncertainty, potentially leading to increased market volatility. However, not all views are entirely negative; some analysts believe that while there might be corrections, the market could still find a new equilibrium, albeit at lower levels than current highs.
