2023 Stock Market Forecasts
Updated: Nov 15
Markets Insider
Despite a looming recession in the U.S., Deutsche Bank expects global equities to drop sharply by mid-2023. According to Deutsche Bank chief economist David Folkerts-Landau, major stock markets will plunge 25% when the U.S. recession hits but then recover completely by year-end 2023, assuming the recession lasts only several quarters.
Goldman Sachs
In 2023, Goldman Sachs Research predicts the bear market in stock markets will intensify before giving way to more hopeful signals. Goldman Sachs Research predicts that the global stock market will enter its "hope" phase later this year. Recovery usually begins during recessions when valuations rise. In the past, investing in stocks after the bottom produced better returns than investing before it: average 12-month returns are higher after the bottom than before. Therefore, Goldman Sachs strategists think it's too early to position for a bull market transition.
