The stock market's blistering February rally showed some signs of exhaustion on Tuesday, and Bank of America said there could be a correction on the horizon. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 posted small losses on Tuesday, halting their six-day winning streaks. The S&P 500 spent most of the session fluctuating along the flatline. The Nasdaq Composite bucked the downtrend and rose slightly to notch another record high.  BofA believes a pullback is likely as the market is priced for perfection amid Covid reopening optimism, but the bank said any weakness will be a buying opportunity for equity investors. "We expect a buyable 5-10% Q1 correction as the big 'unknowns' coincide with exuberant positioning, record equity supply, and 'as good as it gets' earnings revisions," Jared Woodard, investment and ETF strategist at BofA, said in a note. The bank has an S&P 500 year-end target of 3,800, which represents a 3% decline from here. The forecast is well below Wall Street analysts' average of 4,082, according to the CNBC Market Strategist Survey. |
