Morgan Stanley: U.S. Stocks Still Need to Clear Three Major Hurdles Before the Next Rally

2026-10-28 11:20

According to TechFlow, on October 28, Morgan Stanley analyst Mike Wilson believes that the U.S. stock pullback that began in June is entering its final stage, but the S&P 500 may still need to pull back to the 7100 to 7200 point range before a more sustainable rally can begin.

Wilson believes the market must next clear three major hurdles: absorbing the financing supply in the AI sector, eliminating political and geopolitical uncertainty surrounding the U.S. midterm elections, and waiting for a possible turning point in the liquidity environment. Morgan Stanley still maintains its optimistic year-end target of 8000 points for the S&P 500, but Wilson wants to first see market sentiment shift further toward panic selling and clearer signs of stabilization in the semiconductor sector before considering taking on more risk.
