LACK OF DIRECTION TO KEEP S&P 500 RANGE-BOUND - MS
The S&P 500 will trade range-bound as markets look for direction and evidence of better economic growth and earnings, says Morgan Stanley equity strategist Michael Wilson.
Wilson remains of the view that growth is now equity investors' primary concern, rather than inflation and rates, and unless there is better data to support stocks, the benchmark index will trade in a range of 5,000 - 5,400.
"Markets are likely to remain vulnerable in the near term until we get better growth data or more comfort from the Fed on policy support," Wilson said in a note on Monday.
In the absence of any positive data or the Federal Reserve's policy decisions, equity prices will be the key driver of short-term movement of stocks and sentiment.
Regarding last week's global equities rout, Wilson says that although it is "convenient" to blame a technical reversion in Japanese yen carry trade for the broader correction, it doesn't properly acknowledge a deterioration in the fundamentals that began in April.
He notes that the lack of a new theme to rotate into also weighed on the index.
Wilson continues to recommend defensive stocks in sectors like utilities, healthcare, and consumer staples. Parts of Real estate also tend to perform better when investors look for growth.
