BOFA'S HARTNETT: GO 'ALL IN' ON S&P 500 BELOW 5000 IF TRUMP'S APPROVAL DROPS

🔸 Market Strategy – BofA (Michael Hartnett)
Risk Appetite: Falling stocks, oil, yields, and USD could revive risk-taking, but weak jobs/fiscal fears could hurt assets.

S&P 500 Levels:
🔸 5400: Buy weak-dollar plays (EM, REITs).
🔸 5100-5200: Buy policy-sensitive stocks (small caps, homebuilders, Asian tech).
🔸 4800-5000 (Recession): Go "all-in" on risk if Trump's approval drops to 40-45%.
