This week, U. S. stocks continued to rebound. By Thursday's close, the Dow was up 1.63%, the S & P 1.5% and the Nasdaq up 0.97%. The consumer price index (CPI) released this week and the US producer price index (PPI) both slowed more than expected in July from a year earlier, with investors expecting data reflecting a slowdown in inflationary pressures in the US or pushing the Fed to slow the pace of aggressive policy tightening, which could help the economy achieve a soft landing. Amid optimism, the s & p 500 rose to a three-month high on Wednesday, and the Nasdaq rose nearly 3% into a technical bull market.

Looking forward to the future, what does Wall Street think?

David Kelly, global strategist at JPMorgan Chase & Co Asset Management, said in a report released on Thursday that the stock market could rebound to an all-time high in the next few years as the US economy shows signs of cooling. David believes that weaker inflation data combined with signs of an economic slowdown could push interest rates back down at their peak, supporting stocks higher. "it will take some time to bring inflation back to 2%, but as long as we make progress in this direction, the economy will not fall into recession," he said. I think the prospect of the stock market is quite good. I will put all the money into the stock market. I believe that the stock market will rise again. "

Aneta Markowska, chief economist of Jefferies, commented on the CPI released this week that there are four major drivers of the current rise in US prices, namely, commodity prices, supply chain challenges, housing and labor shortages. Among them, the inflationary effects of the first two are gradually disappearing, but housing and labor shortages will continue to be reflected in service inflation. Service inflation will not disappear anytime soon until the Fed tries to 'destroy' demand. "

The chief strategist of Principal Global Investment Co., Ltd. is also relatively pessimistic. "the market has underestimated the risk, and Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will eventually show a big weapon," he said. I don't believe in the sustainability of this rebound. For several months throughout the summer, we were neutral on U. S. stocks because we feared it was just a bear market rally. "
