Episode notes
Unique Methodology for S&P Forecast
- Sanjeev Sharma developed a unique methodology using machine learning and five key factors affecting middle-class disposable income to forecast the S&P 500.
- This formula, unlike traditional methods, considers wages, inflation, gas prices, interest rates, and home prices to predict market direction reliably.
Factors Driving S&P 500 to 7,000
- Despite challenges like low population growth, tariffs, and government spending cuts, Sharma's formula forecasts the S&P 500 to reach around 7,000 by the end of 2025.
- Wages are rising due to immigration controls and manufacturing shifts, inflation impact from tariffs is limited, and home prices dropping supports consumer spending.
Population and Supply Shocks Risks
- Sharma's biggest concern is population growth as it directly impacts economic growth and stock markets.
- Supply shocks, especially from reduced Chinese imports, could cause inflation spikes and present significant risks to the market outlook.
