JPMorgan’s conservative year-end target for the S&P 500 hints at underlying unease, suggesting a potential downturn ahead. With Goldman Sachs highlighting tightening financial conditions, the facade of market stability may be giving way to underlying pressures, raising questions about the sustainability of current market exuberance.
