RBC forecasts the S&P 500 index to reach 7,900 points in 12 months, suggesting a 7.7% upside. The bank warns of potential market pullbacks of 5% to 10%, but a significant decline of 14% to 20% is unlikely unless recession risks emerge.

The AI boom has led to record spending, with top tech firms projected to invest $800B this year, increasing to $1.1T next year, representing over 3% of GDP. However, this growth has deepened economic divides, as around 10,000 AI insiders have gained over $20M each, while most workers see minimal benefits. Additionally, the AI gains obscure underlying economic issues such as tariffs, war, and sluggish consumer spending.

Morgan Stanley warns of a potential 'meaningful correction' in the stock market due to a bond selloff, with the S&P 500 down 1% since its recent high. The 10-year Treasury yield has reached 4.58%, the highest since February 2025. Analysts expect equity prices to correct if rates continue to rise, influenced by the U.S.-Iran war and rising oil prices. Despite this, Morgan Stanley maintains a bullish long-term outlook, raising its 12-month S&P 500 target to 8,300.

Stock Market Faces 'Meaningful Correction' Risk from Bond Selloff, Warns Morgan Stanley

The stock market is down as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 turn negative due to rising interest rates. The 10-year Treasury yield is at 4.60%, its highest since January 2025, impacting equity valuations. Higher yields could increase U.S. government debt payments by $1.5 trillion over the next decade. Morgan Stanley warns of a potential market correction if rates stay high, with ongoing bond volatility linked to geopolitical tensions.

- The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 have moved into negative territory as rising Treasury yields are impacting investor sentiment.  
- The 10-year Treasury yield has reached 4.60%, while the 30-year yield is at a 19-year high, which increases the attractiveness of bonds over stocks and may raise U.S. debt costs significantly.  
- Morgan Stanley cautions that if elevated rates persist, a meaningful correction in the stock market is likely, particularly amid ongoing bond volatility.
