Insights From Analysts:
The U.S. economy and stock market face a &#8220;confluence of challenges&#8221; in the second half of the year, noted Charles Schwab &amp; Co. Inc. in its mid-year outlook.
&#8220;Tariff-induced inflation, fiscal imbalances, and signs of labor market cooling contribute to an environment of heightened uncertainty and instability,&#8221; stated the note.
However, with stocks nearing all-time highs, &#8220;the bar is relatively high for the market in the second half of the year.&#8221;
The note also explained that there were &#8220;possibilities&#8221; for things to right with &#8220;tariff rates edging lower, the labor market stabilizing, and inflation remaining under control,&#8221; however, the firm had &#8220;low conviction&#8221; in understanding and predicting where the day-to-day news flow could head.
&#8220;For now, investor sentiment and positive earnings growth are supports, whereas stretched valuations and growth-negative tariff policy are hindrances,&#8221; it added.
The note also highlighted that &#8220;Investors should continue to embrace diversification across and within asset classes, especially given the dominance (this year) of markets outside the United States.&#8221;
Meanwhile, senior economist Jeremy Siegel said in his WisdomTree note that the investor sentiment was benefiting from signals of &#8220;progress or at least a pause&#8221; in U.S.-China trade tensions.
&#8220;I continue to believe the market can digest tariffs of 10% across the board and 30% for China with limited sector-specific increases like aluminum at 50%,&#8221; he stated.
Siegel added that &#8220;Looking ahead, the S&amp;P 500 all-time highs are likely in the absence of major trade shocks. Risks remain, but the economy continues to show resilience.&#8221;
