"Dr. Doom" Roubini: Systemic risks in U.S. stocks are looming

Since the beginning of this month, Wall Street has repeatedly warned that the U.S. economy may enter a recession. A few days ago, the famous economist Roubini, known as the "Doomsday Doctor", also warned that with the Fed's policy shift, the systemic risks of US stocks are approaching.

Wall Street is mostly headed: next year the S&P 500 index will rise below 5,000 points amid volatility

Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Leuthold Group, said the S&P 500 will reach more than 5,000 points next year, then decline and return to levels above 5,000 by the end of next year.

Paulsen believes that with the S&P 500 breaking record highs by the end of next year, volatility is likely in 2022. As long as the 10-year Treasury yield remains below 3%, it is not the time to "escape the stock market.".

Paulsen expects U.S. corporate earnings and economic fundamentals to remain strong next year. In addition, prices will fall somewhat as inflation expectations and commodity prices flatten, but people may be less confident that inflation will return to the Fed's 2% target.
