S and P 500 Index Fund : S&P 500 INDEX TODAY | INX LIVE TICKER

Once the Federal Reserve stops raising interest rates, the S&P 500 US stock index may decline another 16% before bottoming out in nine months, according to a forecast by UBS.

In a report published on Monday, the analysts at the Swiss bank described the following scenario: “Weak growth and earnings push the market lower before a decline in rates helps it bottom at 3,200 in Q2 ’23 and boosts it to 3,900 by end ’23.”

To get to that low point, the S&P 500 would need to decline 15.9% from its closing on Monday of 3,806.

The Fed’s tightening campaign, recession fears, and weak third-quarter profit results by Big Techs like Amazon and Facebook parent Meta Platforms have all contributed to the benchmark index’s 20.1% year-to-date decline.

According to them, the economic downturn would probably be followed by a period of disinflation. Given that the US central bank has swiftly raised interest rates in an effort to contain inflation that is near 40-year highs, this would allow decision-makers the option to flip to lowering rates in order to spur economic development.
