Stocks are likely to continue rallying on rising recession risks, Piper Sandler says
Rising risks of recession are unlikely to put a damper on the current market rally, according to Piper Sandler.
In fact, the opposite might be true.
“We believe stocks will rally on rising recession risks (i.e., softer macro data) — certainly an unusual take!” the investment firm wrote. “We remain constructive with the view that lower rates from softer macro data will set up stocks for another leg higher in the coming quarters.”
Going forward, Piper Sandler views higher rates as the greatest threat to the market rally and the most likely catalyst for a correction.
