[Reuters Survey: S&P 500 Index Expected to Rise 10% to 7,500 Points by End of 2026] According to a report by Jinse Finance, a Reuters survey shows that driven by strong earnings and stable economic growth, the S&P 500 Index is expected to rise nearly 10% to around 7,500 points by the end of 2026, marking a potential fourth consecutive year of gains. While the market appears highly resilient, risks remain: inflation trends, Federal Reserve policies, trade tensions during Trump's tenure, and geopolitical shocks. Most strategists anticipate a near-term pullback, with some viewing it as a healthy correction. As artificial intelligence reshapes industry dynamics, the tech sector may continue to experience volatility but is still regarded as a key driver of earnings growth. Overall, despite short-term unease, strong fundamentals support a bullish market outlook.
