Consumer optimism regarding the stock market soared to a three-year high in May 2024, marking the most positive outlook since May 2021. The latest survey from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York revealed a significant increase in the perceived probability of stock prices rising in the next 12 months. Concurrently, consumer expectations for inflation declined, with households' overall satisfaction with their financial situations improving. Despite concerns about market frothiness as stocks continue to climb, analysts are adjusting year-end S&P 500 targets upwards, emphasizing the ongoing positive corporate earnings outlook. Wall Street sentiment is described as 'not euphoric,' with Bank of America's sell-side indicator remaining in a 'neutral' range, indicating room for further upside potential.
