After a strong start to the year, the stock market faced a setback in August, with historical trends indicating weakness in August and September.

Morgan Stanley's CIO is not bullish on the remainder of the year, while a senior portfolio manager sees the S&P 500 reaching 5,000 by year-end.

Wedbush predicts a tech stock rally fueled by AI-driven spending, while Jeremy Siegel sees upside potential if the Fed holds off on rate hikes. However, Rosenberg Research warns of a potential stock market tumble due to broader economic pressures, and Key Advisors Wealth Management cautions that stocks could tank by 10% or more in the event of another rate hike.
