JPMorgan Sees Strategic Buying Chance US Stock Plunge
JPMorgan Chase‘s trading desk has offered a ray of hope. According to the latest analysis by the bank, the current US stock plunge conditions can turn out to be a tactical opportunity for investors. The bank further said that the recent sell-off may turn out to be a ‘buy on dips’ opportunity and indicated that the market could bounce back once conditions stabilize.
JPMorgan’s view rests on the fact that while there has been a very strong correction in the market, most of these corrections precede a recovery phase. So, investors could get value in buying stocks at a discount, particularly those of high-quality companies. Known colloquially as “buying the dip,” this is an investment strategy to take advantage of potential future gains when market sentiment turns positive.
