On November 13, the S&P 500, tracked by SPY, fell about 0.4%, while the Dow rose about 0.1%. The two figures point to a divergence in the market on the same day, not a broad-based decline across U.S. stocks.
The question is whether short-term weakness is enough to undermine the longer-term bullish outlook. During the session that evening, the Nasdaq 100 briefly fell more than 1%, with tech stocks under more pressure than the broader market. But an intraday decline should not be mistaken for the closing result. On the other hand, Goldman Sachs’ S&P 500 target of 8,700 by the end of 2027 is a long-term forecast, and it does not prove that the current pullback is over.
What matters next is whether the S&P 500 can stabilize alongside tech stocks, rather than relying solely on the Dow’s resilience. If the indices continue to diverge, can the long-term target of 8,700 still explain SPY’s current trajectory?
