JPMorgan has set a new target for the S&P 500, projecting it to reach 8,000 by 2026, contingent on a scenario where the Federal Reserve eases monetary policy. Dubravko Lakos, head of global markets at JPMorgan, indicated that if policy loosens further, the index could range between 7,000 and 7,500. Lakos pointed out a K-shaped recovery, suggesting that while some sectors may outperform, others could lag. He also emphasized the role of regulatory policy in shaping market dynamics and highlighted the importance of Countering the Financing of Terrorism as crucial for maintaining global financial stability.
