Strategists at major investment banks expect AI momentum and strong corporate earnings to offset the conflict’s short-term economic impact. However, they warn that persistently higher oil prices could increase recession risks. Citigroup became the latest brokerage to raise its index target, adding to a wave of bullish brokerage calls.
