Bad news has recently been good news for the stock market, but that won't be the case much longer, according to Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, chief U.S. equity strategist at JPMorgan.
"Lately, equities have been shrugging off bad economic news and rising on weaker [economic] data and lower yields," Lakos-Bujas said in a note.
The S & P 500 has risen about 2% so far in 2023 following its worst year since 2008.
JPMorgan's year-end S & P 500 year-end sits at 4,200, about 8% higher than the index's current level around 3,900.
The bank's forecast is slightly higher than the average target among Wall Street strategists, according to CNBC's market strategist survey that rounds up 15 top strategists' outlooks.
