[Institutional survey: S&P 500 index will head towards 6,000 points] Jinshi Data reported on October 21 that Bloomberg's latest survey showed that although the US presidential election is about to become a major uncertainty, this year's crazy rebound in the US stock market is expected to continue until the final stage of 2024. According to the median estimate of 411 respondents, the S&P 500 index will approach 6,000 points by the end of the year, 2.3% higher than the close of last Friday, setting a new record high. Three-quarters of respondents expect this earnings season to boost stock indexes, and for stock market performance, the strength of US corporate performance is seen as more critical than who wins the November election or even the Fed's policy direction. Data shows that about 70 companies in the S&P 500 index have announced results, of which 76% have announced results that exceed expectations. Respondents expect that technology giants that will announce results later will lead again. A total of 75% expect the "Big Seven" to outperform or match the rest of the market this quarter.
