Stock market outlook 2022 – Forecasts by JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs
Let us start with the most bullish forecasts by JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, both investment banks. JP Morgan predicts that the S&P 500 Index will touch the 5,050 mark by the end of 2022 from the closing of 4,567 points on December 1, and it translates into a gain of 10.6%. The Goldman Sachs model pegs the number of S&P 500 Index at 5,100 points with an increase of 11.7 %. The optimism of Goldman Sachs is betting high on retirement funds that they feel will bounce back despite acknowledging the headwinds of 2021 like a tightening Fed, decelerating economic growth, and rising real yields.
