☆ The stock market's 'no recession' relief rally is over. Expect flat markets for the rest of the year.
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-10 | by ( Matthew Fox | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

The "no recession relief rally" has ended for the stock market, according to Stifel's Barry Bannister. The S&P 500 is up about 17% year-to-date, but has declined by about 3% since the start of August. Bannister expects the S&P 500 to finish the year at 4,400, suggesting potential downside of about 2% from current levels. According to data from Bank of America, stock market returns are typically muted between July and December in the third year of the Presidential Cycle, which reference a four-year stock market cycle that tracks with the four-year term of the US President. That's well below consensus estimates of the S&P 500 generating $226 in earnings per share next year.

☆ Stifel's Bannister expects little change for S&P 500 through year end

The New York Stock Exchange building is seen from Broad Street in Lower Manhattan in New York, January 20, 2016. The S&P 500 has rebounded 16.4% so far this year after plunging in 2022, as the economy has so far defied fears of a downturn. Bannister projected the S&P 500 would "trade sideways" in the second half of 2023 and end the year at around 4,400. While inflation has been moderating, Bannister said he expected the consumer price index to end 2023 at around 3.5%, versus a 2.3% average in the 30 years before the COVID-19 pandemic. The inflation rates would result in "keeping Fed tight and S&P 500 flat" in the second half, Bannister said.

Yellow's demise underscores the shift in the U.S. trucking industry from too few trucks and truck drivers during the pandemic to too many today. Most U.S. trucking companies have about 20% spare capacity in their networks, Stifel analyst Bruce Chan said in a client note on Monday. Yellow struggled for more than a decade after loading up on debt from acquisitions of rival trucking firms Roadway and USF. Still, it is not good news for Yellow's customers, which likely will face double-digit price increases when they turn that business over to companies, Chan said. "If you weren't prepared for this, it's probably a pretty tough day for you," Adamo said of Yellow's customers.
