RBC warns S&P 500 could fall to 4,200–4,500 in full recession scenario

 RBC Capital Markets has recently revised its projections for the S&P 500 index, citing escalating concerns over U.S. economic growth following the implementation of new tariffs by President Donald Trump. The firm now anticipates that in a full recession scenario, the S&P 500 could decline to between 4,200 and 4,500.

Revised Projections:

  • Base Case: RBC has lowered its year-end target for the S&P 500 to 5,500, down 11% from the previous estimate of 6,200. This adjustment reflects heightened concerns about economic growth stemming from the recent tariff announcements.

  • Bear Case: In the event of a full recession, RBC warns that the S&P 500 could fall to a range between 4,200 and 4,500. This projection is based on historical median and average drawdowns of 27% and 32%, respectively, since the 1930s. 

Market Context:

The S&P 500 has already experienced significant declines, with a 5.7% drop from its July high, reflecting investor apprehension about potential economic downturns and policy missteps.

Investor Guidance:

Given the current market volatility and economic uncertainties, investors are advised to:

  • Diversify Portfolios: Ensure investments are spread across various asset classes to mitigate risk.

  • Stay Informed: Keep abreast of economic indicators and policy changes that could impact market performance.

  • Consult Financial Advisors: Seek professional advice to navigate the complexities of the current economic environment.

Remaining vigilant and adaptable is crucial as the market responds to ongoing developments.
