JPMORGAN SAYS S&P 500 COULD REACH 8,000 IN 2026 WITH MORE FED EASING
JPMorgan says the S&P 500 could climb to 7,500 by year-end 2026, and potentially surpass 8,000 if the Federal Reserve cuts rates more aggressively than expected.
In its 2026 Global Equity Outlook, the bank forecasts double-digit global equity gains, driven by strong earnings, lower rates, and easing policy pressures. The U.S. is expected to remain the main growth engine, supported by a resilient economy and an AI-driven investment boom.
JPMorgan projects 13β15% earnings growth for U.S. companies over the next two years and says high valuations are justified by accelerating AI capex, rising shareholder payouts, and potential policy tailwinds.
The bank also warned that rapid AI disruption could amplify existing economic imbalances and lead to volatile investor sentiment.
The S&P 500 is down -3% from its record high and up +110 points today.
Meanwhile, "Extreme Fear" remains in the market.
Once again, this is NOT what you see before a crash.

DEUTSCHE BANK SETS 2026 S&P 500 TARGET AT 8,000
Deutsche Bank expects the S&P 500 to reach 8,000 by end-2026, the most bullish call on Wall Street. Strategist Matthew Luzzetti cites rapid AI investment as a key driver of market sentiment and productivity gains, though the bank warns of continued volatility.
The U.S. economy is forecast to re-accelerate as trade uncertainty eases and tax cuts lift incomes, with S&P 500 earnings projected at $320. Germany is expected to post a strong rebound, Europe to slow slightly before improving, China to moderate, and India to continue its rise.
Inflation should keep easing, with Deutsche Bank expecting two Fed rate cuts and the ECB staying on hold until at least mid-2027.
