📈 Major Banks FLIP Stock Market Predictions! (Positive Growth Outlook for 2026)

"Bank of America says it'll be around 7,100"

"Whereas BNP at the bottom says 7,500."

"there is a sector level divergence that's likely techile stocks may outperform if growth"

"Several forecasts signal potential upside outside the US, like specifically in Europe"

"The most likely decline range as far as if the stock market's going to drop or not in 2026 was between 10 and 20%. For the most part, they're saying that it's going to be a correction and not necessarily a crash of over 20%."

"if there is going to be a crash, I do believe it's going to mostly be in tech or AI, specifically the high-risk type sectors, maybe even in the Bitcoin market"

"The FOMC Fed watch tool has a huge majority that believe we will see a cut next week."

"If Powell simply just delays the cuts, then usually what happens in the market is that the market does have a little bit of a pullback, but nothing crazy. Historically, stocks dip on disappointment, yields go up, volatility spikes, but markets usually stabilize within days or weeks."

"But we're not in for something like a huge crash like a 20% drop or something like that unless Powell comes out and says something like, 'Not only are we not cutting rates, we're actually going to increase rates.'"

"If job losses are rising, which they are, and Powell still refuses to cut, markets could interpret this as a policy mistake. And that's when markets absolutely go crazy and a major correction is in store."

"Black Rockck shifted its stance on long-term US treasuries from neutral to underweight, warning that heavy borrowing tied to AI infrastructure could drive interest rates up again."

"The firm, while still somewhat bullish on US equities overall, flagged increased systemic risk if debt financed AI investments trigger instability."
