FYI: Investors will soon bid good riddance to 2018, a stressful year marked by two stock market corrections, rising interest rates, an ugly trade battle, and growing fears that a bear market lies just around the corner.
Yet as U.S. stocks stumble toward what could be their first yearly loss since 2015, next year is looking rather sunny. So say the 10 market strategists Barron’s consulted this month, all of whom have 2019 targets for the S&P 500 index that are higher than the benchmark’s recent price level of 2600. Based on the group’s mean prediction, the S&P 500 will end next year at 2975, indicating a gain of more than 14%.
