UBS has reduced its S&P 500 target by 9% as market volatility persists after significant tariffs announced by President Trump.
Overview
U.S. markets are attempting recovery with stocks up over 3% after President Trump's tariff announcements, although concerns about trade tensions, especially with China, persist. UBS recently cut its year-end target for the S&P 500 to 5,800, reflecting weak market sentiment and expectations of GDP growth below 1%. David Lefkowitz, head of U.S. equities at UBS, commented on the surprising aggressiveness of the tariffs and the likelihood of future negotiations. The Dow gained nearly 1,400 points recently, but experts warn that the bounce is a classic bear market rebound, with more downside expected as earnings season approaches amid ongoing tariff uncertainty.
