Remarks on Monday from a Morgan Stanley note to clients:

  • “With the S&P 500 rally now crossing the 20% threshold, more are declaring the bear market officially over
  • We respectfully disagree due to our 2023 earnings forecast.
  • Ironically, a Fed pause may awaken the bear tactically just as liquidity headwinds ramp up.”

Morgan Stanley have low expectations for 2023 earnings and see this flowing into equity pricing.
