Stock Market's New Upturn Confirmed by US Bank Following the Conclusion of the Quiet Economic Downturn in April
=============================================================================================================
In a recent interview with Bloomberg TV, Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's chief US equity strategist, expressed his belief that the US economy has entered a new bull market, despite ongoing economic uncertainties such as stagflation fears and trade policy risks.
According to Wilson, the spring 2025 market downturn, which saw the S&P 500 drop nearly 20%, has already priced in worst-case scenarios, creating a buying opportunity and clearing the way for the new bull market move. He believes that the US economy has been in a "rolling recession" over the last three years, but this phase is now over, as evidenced by events like the April selloff marking the bear market’s end and the subsequent rally.
Wilson expects the economy to slow down, but believes the market has already anticipated this slowdown. He notes that some moderation or volatility might occur in the near term, which he sees not as a negative but as normal market consolidation, or even a chance to buy on dips. He prefers normal volatility over a straight, uninterrupted climb like in 2020.
Wilson also warned about the impact of elevated trade policy uncertainty on business investment, citing slower capital spending and volatility in trade data as drags on growth. He is attentive to potential catalysts (like legislation) that could restore business confidence and investment.
Despite these risks, Wilson anticipates any near-term dips (such as a 5-10% correction) would be short-lived and provide attractive entry points for investors, reinforcing his bullish stance over the medium term. In essence, Wilson’s current view is cautiously optimistic: the groundwork for a meaningful, ongoing bull market has been set by earlier price corrections, the worst economic scenarios appear priced in, and while risks remain (slowing growth, trade uncertainty), the market outlook is favorable for continued gains with normal volatility expected ahead.
