Morgan Stanley: Fed Restart of Asset Purchases Has Eliminated Liquidity Risk

On January 9, Morgan Stanley Chief Investment Officer Mike Wilson issued an extremely optimistic outlook for the U.S. stock market. In an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Wilson described the market’s future path as “crystal clear.” He believes stable Federal Reserve policy and legislative tailwinds will reinvigorate the consumer sector. Wilson noted, “The Fed is proactively addressing these liquidity issues, and this support has removed a major layer of risk for investors.” While the long-term outlook remains positive, Wilson warned a market pullback is inevitable in a U.S. midterm election year. He advised investors to prepare for at least a 10% decline, but urged them to view such drops as buying opportunities—not exit signals. (Source: Golden Finance)
