The overall outlook in the equity markets is positive, going by Citigroup raising its year-end S&P 500 target by 9% to 6,300. According to strategist Scott Chronert, market fundamentals are strong and likely to offset high policy volatility.
“No doubt, policy volatility is likely to persist as are numerous other risks. This keeps us reticent to chase rallies but more inclined to buy pullbacks,” Krinsky said. “What the first half has told us is that fundamental volatility may be more manageable as tariffs, taxes, budget/deficit, rates, currency, geopolitics, etc. will all continue to remain in the financial news headlines.”
The remarks come on the heels of Jonathan Krinsky, chief market technician at BTIG, reiterating the summer might belong to small-cap companies. According to the analyst, the Russell 200 index has developed an accumulation pattern, signaling a potential breakout to the upside. The index is up by more than 3% in June alone.
“We think this could be setting up for ‘smallcap summer.’ Last week, price was finally able to break out. This sort of formation historically has further upside,” Krinsky said.
Smallcap and penny stocks are starting to look attractive as the focus shifts from trade headlines, and investors look forward to more constructive forces such as interest rate cuts.
