Goldman Sachs analysts warn against S&P 500 stocks.
Goldman Sachs analysts stated that US stocks remain weak despite
the recent rally, particularly those linked to the S&P 500,
due to renewed trade tensions.
The bank stated that investors are facing a key question: whether this rally will continue.
The bank stated in a note on Tuesday that US President Trump's announcement of Emancipation Day
has raised renewed concerns about a recession in the US economy,
shifting focus away from technology stocks.
Earnings decline: The bank also explained that in the event of a mild recession,
the earnings of the S&P 500 index would decline by approximately 10%,
while in the event of a decline in the valuation multiple to 18 times
the price-to-earnings ratio, the index's earnings would decline by more than 20%.
