Good MorningThe S&P 500 is poised to hit a new all-time high and may make the move this week. If so, the next few months could see significant upside with a chance of hitting the 7,000 level by year's end. If not, the S&P 500 could stay range-bound until later in the year or, in a worst-case scenario, slide into a correction of 20% or more. However, the first scenario is more likely due to the outlook for earnings, cash flow, and capital returns. If the S&P 500 begins to correct, it will likely not be a deep pullback or last long without a fundamental change to the outlook.
This week's hurdles are economic and earnings-related. On the economic front, reports on manufacturing, housing, and the Index of Leading Indicators are due. They are expected to align with trends, including relative economic strength and spotty weakness. On the earnings front, the market must deal with a diminishing outlook for earnings growth in 2025, a headwind for sentiment and index prices.
