Wall Street Bull Brian Belski Sees Correction Before S&P Run Into the 8,000s

Brian Belski joins Dan Nathan to break down why he still sees the S&P 500 moving higher — but warns a correction may come first.

Belski explains why this is now an earnings-driven market, why the Mag 7 may begin to hand leadership to the other 493 stocks, and what could trigger the next pullback. He also shares his views on AI stocks, SpaceX/OpenAI IPOs, financials, industrials, housing, rates, and why he believes the market could still end the year with “an 8 handle.”

Topics include:
• Why Brian Belski expects a correction before another rally
• The case for S&P 8,000 (and why it won’t be a straight line)
• AI enthusiasm, IPO mania & whether we’re in a bubble
• Why he’s bullish on financials, industrials & select cyclicals
• Treasury yields, housing, Walmart, Deere & the consumer outlook
• What could actually trigger the next bear market
