Sept 16 (Reuters) -Brokerages have raised their year-end targets for U.S. stocks benchmark S&P 500 .SPX amid rising expectations for the Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates at the Sept. 17-18 meeting.
Analysts expect the U.S. central bank will begin its easing cycle on Wednesday with a quarter-percentage-point move, though markets are pricing in a good chance it could be a half-percentage-point cut to prevent further labor market softening.
Following are forecasts from some major banks on economic growth, inflation, and how they expect certain asset classes to perform:
