Golden Finance reported that Citigroup strategists said that the reduction in capital inflows and the downward revision of growth expectations indicate that the US stock market will soon plunge. The company recently raised its year-end target for the S&P 500 to 5,600 points, but said in a client report represented by Scott Chronert on Friday that "the short-term trend has prepared us for a correction." They said that capital flows have slowed down, internal sentiment indicators are at an "excited" level, and Citi's forecast is that there will be a recession in the second half of this year. At the same time, the general growth expectations have declined recently. Citi strategists said that all of this has prepared the stock market for a "summer storm" or "sudden strong wind." In addition, election volatility remains an uncertain factor, and both parties are likely to face fundamental pressures.
