According to Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett, a broad get dumped in stocks, oil prices, bond yields, and the US dollar could pave the way for a renewed appetite for risk.
Hartnett suggested that if the S&P 500 drops to the range of 4,800-5,000 and former President Donald Trump’s approval rating declines to 40-45%, investors should consider aggressively increasing their positions in riskier assets.
Global markets have experienced increasing volatility in recent weeks due to trade tensions, inflation concerns, and changing monetary policies.
However, Hartnett believes that a pullback in key financial indicators could present a buying opportunity for risk assets, including stocks and commodities.
The strategist also marked Trump’s approval rating as an important market signal. While political uncertainty is rising ahead of the 2024 presidential elections, investors are closely monitoring policy developments that could affect economic conditions.
Hartnett’s call suggests that, while markets remain fragile, a well-timed entry into risk assets could yield significant gains as sentiment shifts.
