"Wharton's Jeremy Siegel: Jerome Powell Could Derail Stock Market's All-Time High"

Jeremy Siegel, a renowned stock watcher from Wharton Business School, predicts that the stock market, including the Dow Jones and S&P 500, could reach all-time highs in the coming months. However, he warns that the only thing that could derail this progress is if the Federal Reserve, led by Chairman Jerome Powell, remains overly committed to its 2% inflation target. Siegel argues for a more flexible approach to rate hikes, suggesting that the Fed's fixation on inflation fears could hinder the market's growth. While Powell has hinted at a potential change in the Fed's approach, Siegel remains cautious about the timing of rate cuts, emphasizing the importance of economic data and inflation trends.

Jeremy Siegel: Geopolitical Risks are a Buying Opportunity for Stocks

Wharton professor Jeremy Siegel believes that despite rising geopolitical risks, elevated inflation, and volatile interest rates, stocks are still the preferred investment over bonds. Siegel argues that economic growth, driven by productivity growth and the adoption of artificial intelligence, will continue to support stocks. He also sees rising geopolitical risks as buying opportunities rather than reasons to sell stocks. Siegel attributes the recent decline in the S&P 500 to higher interest rates, but he believes that these rates are driven by stronger-than-expected economic growth, which should benefit corporate earnings. Overall, Siegel remains optimistic about the long-term prospects of stocks.
