Wells Fargo’s Harvey says stocks could sustain this ‘oversold bounce’ over the next few days
Wells Fargo’s Chris Harvey expects stocks to continue their upward move.
“The rise in open interest, retail skewness and BOE action suggest that stocks will continue to bounce back over the next few days,” he said in a note to clients Wednesday.

Harvey said there is growing consensus that a Fed-induced recession is inevitable as the cost of capital rises and prices approach record highs.
“We look at the recession like a car crash,” he wrote. “You never know how bad it will be, but there is almost no ‘better-than-expected’ outcome – so policymakers need to be careful what they wish for.”
