Tom Lee Projects Broad Market Surge into Year-End Despite Federal Reserve Hike
A prominent Wall Street strategist forecasts a substantial equity rally that could influence risk asset liquidity, even as macroeconomic headwinds prompt competing downgrades.
Fundstrat's Tom Lee stated on September 15 that the market could experience a historic rally in the final quarter of 2026, projecting the S&P 500 to surpass 8,200 by year-end, led by technology firms and the Magnificent Seven. Lee argues that as monetary policy direction stabilizes, capital held in money-market funds will rotate back into risk assets, adding that corporate profits have yet to peak.
Less than 24 hours after Lee's remarks, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates and signaled the possibility of additional tightening, prompting questions over how equity market liquidity might affect digital assets like Bitcoin.
Market strategists remain divided on the outlook. Ed Yardeni lowered his year-end S&P 500 target from 8,400 to 7,900, deferring his higher forecast to mid-2027 and raising his probability of a downturn to 30%. Yardeni cited rising energy costs, compressed price-to-earnings valuations, and elevated 10-year Treasury yields, which touched 5.00% on September 15.
