Investors should buy any dips in US stocks fueled by Friday’s credit rating cut, as the trade truce with China has reduced the odds of a recession, according to Morgan Stanley’s Michael Wilson.
The strategist sees a greater chance of a pullback in equities after the downgrade by Moody’s Ratings pushed 10-year bond yields above the key 4.5% level. However, “we would be buyers of such a dip,” Wilson wrote in a note.
S&P 500 futures slid 1.2% on Monday following the debt downgrade, which Moody’s said was in response to a ballooning budget deficit that showed little sign of narrowing. The move has reignited worries about whether US assets are still popular at a time of lingering global trade uncertainty.
