Inflationary pressures may have induced the recent market selloff, but Fundstrat's Tom Lee believes that equities could still end the year higher.
The firm's head of research believes that investors may be putting too much weight into the recent economic data releases showing inflation above economists' expectations.
Lee believes that even if the Federal Reserve only ends up cutting rates once this year, that could still be conducive for stocks.
In fact, Lee believes that the S & P 500 could end the year at 5,700 or "maybe even higher," he said.
But he also likes small-cap names ahead of interest rate cuts and finds industrial stocks attractive as the ISM manufacturing report turns higher.
