The S & P 500 should end 2023 higher than where it currently sits, according to Ned Davis Research.
The result is the S & P 500 ending 2023 at 4,300 points, a gain of about 350 points, or 9.1%, from where it ended Tuesday.
There are multiple paths the index – and broader economy – could take to end 2023 at that level, Clissold said.
Clissold is uncertain if a March rate hike would be the start of a pause or total stop in interest rate increases.
"Less clear is the path throughout the year," Clissold said, calling 2023 a "fork in the road," one way or the other.
