Veteran Wall Street Analyst Counters Recession Fears: 'We Don't Expect A Hard Landing Of The Economy'
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Veteran Wall Street analyst Ed Yardeni counters recession fears, stating that the weak July employment report does not indicate a recession. Yardeni expects stronger employment data in August and has raised his year-end S&P 500 target to 5,800 points. He also predicts the S&P 500, tracked by SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), will reach 8,400 points by the end of the decade. Yardeni believes the market's adverse reaction to the jobs report was exaggerated and influenced by speculators covering carry trades in major tech stocks.
