Reuters survey: S&P 500 index is expected to rise to 7490 points next year, with a possibility of a pullback in March According to BlockBeats, on November 26th, a Reuters survey of stock market strategists showed that the S&P 500 index is expected to rise by about 12% from current levels until the end of 2026, driven by the healthy US economy, strong performance of technology companies, and the Federal Reserve's loose policies. According to a median forecast from a survey of over 45 strategists, analysts, and portfolio managers conducted from November 14th to 25th, the S&P 500 index is expected to close at 7490 points in 2026, up 11.7% from current levels. If the stock market closes higher in 2025, this will be the fourth consecutive year that the benchmark index has risen. Among the 14 respondents who answered the additional question, 8 believe that there is a high possibility of a pullback in the S&P 500 in the next three months. Analysts point out that the possibility of inflation rebounding and the uncertainty of interest rate cuts are risks facing the overall optimistic forecast. The survey predicts that the Dow Jones Industrial Average will close at 50566 points next year, up more than 7% from the current level. The index closed at 47112.45 points on Tuesday. (Golden Ten)
