MORGAN STANLEY · 2026-09-12 · Importance 7 · Surprise 6

Morgan Stanley analyst Mike Wilson warned of a possible U.S. stock-market correction within the next 30 days. He attributed the risk to rising oil prices, increased corporate fundraising, and concerns about market liquidity, despite strong corporate earnings. Wilson recommended remaining invested but becoming more selective, emphasizing quality companies with strong free cash flow and favoring the S&P 500, while using energy stocks as a hedge against oil-price surges.
