1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 15

Summary

  • $9 trillion in S&P 500 market value added since late March may have left traders too complacent, Jim Paulsen said, warning that policy risks are being underpriced.
  • Paulsen’s model shows months of elevated crude prices and bond-market volatility are set to slow economic momentum, undermining the risk-on backdrop that has supported stocks.
  • Wall Street’s upbeat economic expectations have generally underestimated reality lately, he said, and that cushion for further gains may now be fading.
