The S&P 500 index is expected to rise to 7,490 points next year, with a possible pullback in the next three months.
According to ChainCatcher news and Jin10 reports, a Reuters survey of stock market strategists shows that the S&P 500 index is expected to close at 7,490 points by the end of 2026, rising about 11.7% from current levels. In the survey, over 45 strategists believe that the index will rise for the fourth consecutive year. However, 8 respondents believe that there is a high likelihood of a pullback in the next three months. Analysts point out that the risks to optimistic forecasts stem from the uncertainties surrounding rising inflation and prospects of interest rate cuts. The survey also predicts that the Dow will close next year at 50,566 points, up more than 7% from current levels.
