JPMorgan chief strategist sees another 5% drop in equity market

The equity market might see a 5% drop in the near-term, while high-beta tech stocks could move between 5% and 10% lower, JPMorgan’s Marko Kolanovic told CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime” on Tuesday.

The chief global market strategist holds a 4,200 price target on the S&P 500 for 2023. This, he said, leaves room for a potential near-term selloff, followed by potential lows, before the Fed begins — or signal — cutting rates.

“We really think the Fed will need to cut the rates for the market to rally on a sustainable basis,” Kolanovic said.

The broader index slid 2% on Tuesday to close 3,997.34 and complete its worst day since Dec. 15, when it fell 2.5%.
