The big near-term challenge is the escalation of the U.S.-China trade war, according to Wren. Even if an imperfect deal is reached between the two countries, Wren speculates stocks will break out of the painful slump. "It's something like you remove the tariffs. You take away the promise that more are coming," he said. "You get back to some kind of certainty."
Until then, Wren makes it clear that he's staying away from stocks. He's more comfortable parking some money in cash and short-term Treasurys while waiting for an entry point around the 2,700 level.In his latest weekly note, Wren advised investors to reduce risk in their portfolio. According to Wren, it's no man's land in terms of picking out a profitable spot in the market right now.
"The negative risks to our outlook have increased meaningfully in recent weeks," Wren wrote. "The uncertainty likely will not go away soon. Immediate gratification is not in the cards."
