Carson Group chief market strategist Ryan Detrick says the U.S. economy is turning a corner, pointing to 500,000 jobs added in the past three months and improving economic indicators. He expects consumer spending to be the winner of the second half of the year, powered by the strengthening labor market. Detrick targets 15% growth for the S&P 500 this year, which would put the index around 7,800 to 7,900, and advocates a barbell approach of being slightly overweight in technology while also holding financials, industrials, and healthcare. He sees inflation stabilizing around 3% to 3.5%, a level the market can tolerate, and predicts the Federal Reserve will remain on pause rather than hiking rates.
