One of Wall Street’s most bearish strategists has had a reality check.
Citigroup Inc.’s Tobias Levkovich has raised his year-end target for the S&P 500 index to 3,300 from 2,900 thanks to the impact of “unbridled” Federal Reserve easing, negative real rates and the breach of technical resistance levels. That moves his index outlook from joint-second-last place to just above the median target of 3,200 among strategists surveyed by Bloomberg.
