RETAIL INVESTORS TO KEEP LIFTING STOCKS, JPMORGAN SAYS Retail inflows should continue to support equities into year-end, JPMorgan says, citing strong seasonal trends. The S&P 500 has risen for six straight months and hit 36 record highs, driven by AI-linked tech stocks. JPMorgan expects retail momentum to last into early 2026, with equity ETFs drawing about 160 billion in inflows recently. The rally has paused amid profit-taking and uncertainty over U.S. policy and Fed rates. Still, Goldman Sachs’s Richard Privorotsky says any pullback should be brief, calling equities a “buy on the dip.”(*Walter Bloomberg)
