Four Risks That Could Disrupt S&P 500 Rally, Says Sevens Report
Tariffs, surprises, and complacency are among the threats to market momentum
These four threats could ’upset’ bullish S&P 500 momentum: Sevens Report
Markets continue to push toward all-time highs, but the Sevens Report warns that optimism shouldn’t overshadow real risks. In a note Monday, the team outlined four potential threats that could upend the bull run:
-
Higher-than-expected tariffs on Aug. 1, which could shake the TACO (Tariffs Are Coming Off) narrative.
-
Market complacency, driven by the false belief that “if it hasn’t happened, it won’t.”
-
Other unspecified surprises that could inject volatility.
-
Broader macroeconomic or geopolitical shifts that are underpriced.
“While there’s undeniably a positive setup for stocks, I believe it’s always important to look at the other side of the trade,” the report said.
“We will remain vigilant to what could go wrong so we’re not blindsided by volatility and don’t give back these strong gains.”
