Strategists see path for S&P 500 toward 8,000 as risks build

Reported · Written up by our desk · Indices

MarketWatch reports that multiple strategists including RBC Capital Markets, HSBC, and Barclays have cited upside scenarios for the S&P 500 toward the 8,000 level.

The outlets say the higher targets are accompanied by mounting risks, highlighting concerns that could set up a pullback even as the index approaches those estimates.
