There may be trouble looming on the horizon for the U.S. stock market, according to BCA Research.

In a note to clients last week, BCA Research chief global strategist Peter Berezin warned that, contrary to popular belief, the economy will fall into a recession either this year or in early 2025. 

Should that happen, the S&P 500 could tumble to 3,750, which marks a 30% drop from current levels.

 The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ended lower on Thursday in fickle trading, ultimately failing to regain ground lost during the previous day’s tech-triggered sell-off.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared as much as 500 points after stronger-than-expected GDP data provided support, before closing up 81.20, or 0.2%, at 39,935.07. The Nasdaq fell 0.9%, while the S&P 500 was down 0.5%.

Small-cap stocks also rose as investors sought out value away from the megacaps. The small-cap Russell 2000 jumped 1.3%, partially recouping the losses from Wednesday’s broad Wall Street sell-off. 



Megacap stocks endured a volatile day.  Amazon, Apple and Nvidia all declined between 0.5% and 1.7%.
