Morgan Stanley analyst Mike Wilson said the US equity pullback that began in June is in its final stage, but the S&P 500 may still need to slump to 7,100–7,200 before a more durable rally can begin. He flagged three hurdles: digesting AI-related financing supply, removing political and geopolitical uncertainty linked to the US midterm elections, and awaiting a potential turning point in liquidity conditions. Morgan Stanley retains a year-end S&P 500 target of 8,000, but Wilson said he wants to see market sentiment move further toward panic selling and clearer stabilization in the semiconductor sector before taking on more risk.

Capital Economics analyst Harry Chambers says the ECB’s Q3 bank lending survey shows demand weakened across most loan categories, weighing on the growth outlook. Housing loan demand posted its largest decline since Q3 2023 and banks expect further falls in Q4. Business investment loan demand also weakened but is expected to rebound. A composite of credit standards and demand suggests the euro-area economy was effectively stagnant in Q3. Chambers says this does not necessarily imply a sustained downturn, but banks’ pessimism raises downside risk to Capital Economics’ prior forecast of 0.2% q/q growth in Q4.
