Wall Street analysis:
Heather Wald, vice president of Investment Advisors, said that from an investment perspective, this year is expected to be more challenging. Few markets have achieved double-digit returns for three consecutive years like the period from 2019 to 2021. If the value is reasonable, as the Fed accelerates its tightening policy, it is expected that the return on the S&P 500 index will be more conservative next year, but compared to other liquid assets, stocks are still attractive.
Insightneo Financial Group Chief Information Officer Ahmed Riesgo said that there may be internal rotation in the stock market this year. Stocks that performed very well last year may underperform the market this year and drag the market down, but most stocks will rise. Riesgo also predicts that next year’s S&P 500 index return will fall in the single digits.
