Even this pessimistic Bank of America strategist says the bear-rally bandwagon has room to charge ahead

According to Hartnett, a super-spike view of oil is gaining ground, which could bring crude oil to $ 150. He also mentioned another risk that is less talked about: a “charter castle” in private capital.

Hartnett is certainly not a long-term believer, and set 4,200 as the point at which the S&P 500 SPX would fade,
+ 1.99%.
“We fade the concentrations (e.g. SPX> 4200), but without haste,” he said.

For now, he writes, the bear rally cart is approaching, in the view that peaks in the CPI, bond yields, the US dollar and the Fed’s shakism have peaked. There is an idea, he writes, of a Federal Reserve pivot at Jackson Hole’s annual address in late August, when the federal funds rate should be between 1.75% and 2 percent. % and a few months of quantitative hardening will be in the books.

The Bank of America’s bullish and bearish indicator is in “extremely bearish” territory, and Hartnett says there are many overdue assets relative to their 200-day averages, making them vulnerable to a negotiable rebound. Among them: the 30-year Treasury, high-yield CCC bonds, Chinese and German equities, US banks and technology stocks, consumer stocks in the US, the European Union and China, and industrial companies in Europe.
