Investors haven't begun to price in recession --- Here's how far the S&P 500 could fall
Christine Idzelis - MarketWatch
The battered S&P 500 index is not pricing in a recession, according to DataTrek Research.
"At 4,000, the recession odds imbedded in S&P are close to zero," said DataTrek co-founder Nicholas Colas in a note emailed Tuesday. "By our math, 50:50 odds of a recession equate to an S&P at 3,525."
The S&P 500, a stock benchmark measuring the performance of large U.S. companies, has dropped more than 16% this year after closing Monday at 3,991.24. That marked its lowest closing value since March 31, 2021, which was the last time the index ended below 4,000, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
