The S&P 500 has closed at record highs for the third consecutive week, reaching above 5,750 and marking a 21.2% gain in 2024. This unprecedented strength has led some analysts to predict even higher future targets. Ed Yardeni forecasts the S&P 500 could hit 8,000 by the end of the decade, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average is projected to reach 60,000. The S&P 500 has also achieved a 4-week winning streak and its highest weekly close in history. Goldman Sachs anticipates a potential 5% increase in the S&P 500 by the end of this year, though they expect volatility in the short term.
