Wall Street forecasters, including Goldman Sachs' David Kostin, are lowering their S&P 500 targets due to increased recession risk and tariff-related uncertainty. Other strategists, including Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson and JPMorgan Chase's Mislav Matejka, are also taking a more cautious tone on the S&P 500. 3) Henrietta Treyz, co-founder at Veda Partners, discusses DC headlines, tariffs, and taxes.
