Wells Fargo’s Harvey says stocks could continue this “oversold bounce” over the next few days.
Wells Fargo’s Chris Harvey expects stocks to continue their gains.
“Short interest rate hikes, skewed retail sales and BOE actions all suggest that stocks will continue to be oversold over the next few days,” he said in a note to clients on Wednesday.
Stocks hit new lows earlier in the week, with the S&P 500 entering a new bear market. The sell-off was triggered by the Fed’s last rate decision last week, which some investors believe sent the market into oversold conditions.
As the cost of capital rises and prices approach record highs, the consensus is increasingly believing that a Fed-induced recession is inevitable, Harvey said.
“We look at a recession like a car accident,” he said. “You never know how bad it’s going to be, but there’s almost no ‘better than expected’ outcome – so politicians have to be careful what they wish for.”
