Forget September Slump! S&P 500 Could Scale New Highs By Mid-2024, Predicts JPMorgan Strategist
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Despite the recent setbacks in the stock market, A.J. Oden, a global investment strategist at JPMorgan Wealth Management, predicts that the S&P 500 Index will reach new highs by mid-2024. Oden also highlighted positive earnings revisions and suggested that the consumer discretionary sector could perform well as the Federal Reserve shifts its stance. He acknowledged that stocks are not inexpensive, but excluding the 'Magnificent Seven' mega-cap U.S. companies, there has been some narrowing in valuations.
