Stocks staged a strong rally Thursday, a day after the Federal Reserve's aggressive start to cutting rates. But Wells Fargo cautioned that the pop is detached from reality.

"Valuations may not be extremely high but are certainly stretched in our view.
SPX YTD mountain S & P 500 "We have a presidential election less than seven weeks away and are in what is historically a weak period of the calendar year for equities," Wren said. "We believe 2025 may offer investors an improving economy that is benefitting from Fed rate cuts." The Wall Street bank said the S & P 500 is likely to be range bound in the coming months and it is already trading toward the top of the range.
