In addition, it has added a very optimistic scenario in which the index could climb as high as 8,000 points. This reversal comes approximately one month after a previous downward revision of the outlook, which reflected concerns about macroeconomic and geopolitical developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The change is primarily driven by expectations of a strong earnings season. Analysts note that current estimates of corporate earnings growth may still be undervalued and that there is room for positive surprises. If the base-case scenario plays out, the <a href=\"https:\/\/trader-magazine.com\/news\/global-stocks-strengthened-last-year-with-the-main-us-index-the-sp-500-rising-by-about-a-fifth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">S&amp;P 500 index<\/a> could gain roughly seven percent from current levels around 7,100 points by year-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto-globe.com\/en\/anycoin-czech-pioneer-in-the-digital-financial-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Anycoin review<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI and Geopolitics as Key Factors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, further developments will depend not only on corporate results but also on the global situation. An optimistic scenario targeting 8,000 points hinges on the easing of geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East. In such a case, there could be a significant revival of global trade, and the U.S. market could see even stronger growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technology sector and the ongoing boom in <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto-globe.com\/en\/ai-prefers-bitcoin-new-study-shows-strong-inclination-toward-digital-money\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">artificial intelligence<\/a> remain key drivers.
