Article Synopsis
Wall Street firms are raising their year-end S&P 500 targets following a strong market rebound from April lows triggered by President Trump’s unexpected “Liberation Day” tariffs. RBC Capital Markets increased its target to 6,250, while Bank of America bumped theirs to 6,300, and Yardeni Research maintained a 6,500 forecast.
However, strategists remain cautious about the second half of 2025, expecting market volatility, limited upside, and lingering risks from unresolved tariff threats. Despite the recent rally, most experts foresee flat or modest gains ahead, citing concerns over corporate earnings, economic surprises, and slowing tech sector profits.
