"Omicron Didn''t Start The Fire", But Morgan Stanley Sees Powell Raining Fire And Brimstone On The Market Every time stocks slump, Morgan Stanley''s bearish chief equity strategist who has a 4,400 "base case" year-end price target for 2022 ... emerges from his bearish crypt with a wry "I told you so " smile, at least until the BTFD crew emerges after the latest Fed greenlight, and sends markets surging once again. For now, however, stocks remain stuck in the high-vol no man''s land of negative gamma, where bearish sentiment dominates and fear is "extreme" as the latest Fear and Greed index shows . And across a Wall Street landscape where most strategists and analysts just turned bullish to justify their cheerful 2022 outlooks and are understandably keeping a very low profile these days, Wilson''s bearish posture allows him to take a (somewhat early) victory lap. However, if the Morgan Stanley strategist is correct, the pain is only just beginning. Yet while sentiment has been clearly risk-off since it was triggered by the illiquid, Black Friday panic about the Omicron variant, Wilson contends in his latest Weekly Warm-Up note ( available for pro subs in the usual place ) that the "new COVID variant started the ruckus for markets, but we view that as secondary to the real culpritthe Fed''s more aggressive response to the "on Fire" data." Here he reminds readers that " lower valuations is our call for 2022, and the Fed''s accelerated taper just brings it forward." As the bearish strategist expands, over the past week markets faced 2 new curve ballsOmicron and a faster taper of asset purchases by the Fed.
