Many Wall Strategists are racing to lower the year -end goals as stocks are sold according to Trump’s strict customs posture, but one bull is not shaken.
BMO Capital Markets chief investment strategist Brian Belski wrote a note to customers by maintaining the 6,700 -year -old goal of S & P 500 (^GSPC).
BELSKI’s 6,700 goal is about 37%of the current level. Other strategists have recently been measured more from their prospects. Monday, Bank of America has joined the year -end S & P 500 forecasts such as Oppenheimer, JPMORGAN, Goldman Sachs, RBC Capital Markets, Barclays, Evercore ISI and Yeangi Research. The majority of these strategists are currently planning S & P 500.
Many strategists have lowered their goals as Trump’s tariffs threaten to slow economic growth and promote inflation. JPMORGAN’s economic team is currently calling for a recession in late 2025. Meanwhile, the team of Goldman Sachs rose from 35%to 45%to 45%in the next 12 months.
The idea that tariffs will be selling the stock market is one of the reasons why Belsky believes Trump will eventually suffer from his tariffs.

“We’ve always subscribed to a simple perspective that the market is leading the economy,” said Belski. “We found it very difficult to believe that Trump and the economy would be considered responsible for pushing the economy into a recession.”
After the S & P 500 decreased by more than 11% for two days to end its transaction last week, BELSKI sold more than 10% for two days and analyzed the 12 -month revenue of the benchmark index. BELSKI found that on average, S & P 500 is approximately 14% away during that period, but it will be returned more than 36% for the next 12 months.
“This time,” BELSKI said, “This time, the market is likely to rebound rapidly at the latest level and provide quite impressive profits next year,” BELSKI said.
BELSKI maintains overweight for consumer discretion (xly), finance (XLF) and information technology (XLK). Since the draw began on Wednesday, all of these sectors have fallen about 11% or more, decreasing about 10.8% of S & P 500.
