Market Divergence: Bonds vs. Stocks
The U.S. bond market anticipates a slowdown that could lower inflation, while the stock market reaches record highs driven by optimistic earnings growth projections of 15% to 20% for the S&P 500 in the latter half of the year, followed by another 12% next year. This discrepancy suggests a significant divergence in outlook, indicating that one market could ultimately be misguided. Additionally, the upcoming election adds uncertainty, with predictions of a split Congress complicating the potential for major economic policy changes.
