S&P 500 rallies 22% post-midterms but faces a 17.5% pullback before 2027 rebound

The S&P 500 has gained 22% since March lows, reflecting an early post-midterm rally. However, a pullback of about 17.5% is expected, targeting a range of 6,350–6,450 by early 2027 before a recovery. Key risks include ongoing inflation, challenges in AI development, and political uncertainty, which may keep markets volatile. The recommended strategy is to raise cash, reduce broad index and tech exposure, hedge with bonds, and prepare to buy strong stocks like Microsoft and Apple on dips.

Microsoft shares are down 2.05% at USD 528.36 on Pluang as of Oct 16, 2026 23:01 WIB, while Apple is up 0.90% at USD 345.09. Despite the article's note on a pullback in the broader market, Apple shows some resilience with a 33% buy order activity on Pluang. This trading activity highlights investor caution and selective buying in major tech stocks amid ongoing market volatility.
