UBS Predicts U.S. Stock Market Appeal Amid Economic Uncertainty

According to Odaily, UBS has indicated that current market expectations align with its forecast that tariffs will decrease from current levels by the end of the year, and the Federal Reserve will implement further interest rate cuts. Despite ongoing uncertainties in trade, the economy, and Federal Reserve policies, volatility is expected to remain high. UBS finds the U.S. stock market attractive, maintaining a year-end target of 5800 points for the S&P 500 index. The bank's baseline prediction is for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 75 to 100 basis points this year. However, in the short term, the Federal Reserve's policy flexibility appears limited as it balances concerns over economic growth with the risks of inflation recovery.
