“BoA forecasts the first rate cut in the September quarter of 2023, and 2-yr yields are still rising to cycle highs,” they wrote.P 500 are “rich on almost every measure we track”, the strategists said, and one signpost with a perfect track record says it is too early to buy: the Rule of 20. “The rule is simple: CPI + trailing P/E should be less than 20 ahead of a market bottom.
