Tom Lee: S&P 500 to Rise to 7300, Surge in Market Liquidity Could Be Explosive

BlockBeats News, December 2nd, Tom Lee stated on Monday on CNBC's Squawk Box that the S&P 500 Index is ready for a year-end "melt-up." He said that "7200-7300 points" is not a fantasy but a "target very likely to be achieved in December." To ensure clarity of tone, he gave the most direct summary of his position: "I am very bullish."

Lee believes that traders are sleepwalking past the three key elements of liquidity, capitulation selling, and the window of time. Lee pointed out that the market's largest singular tailwind has arrived: "It's now the moment of quantitative tightening (QT) ending." With the Fed poised to cut rates this month and the balance sheet contraction coming to a halt after nearly three years, he believes the surge in liquidity could be explosive.

Lee stated that in closed-door meetings, institutional sentiment has cracked, with many fund managers "throwing in the towel" and looking to coast until January. Now, if December shows strong momentum, he expects a wave of FOMO (fear of missing out) buying to avoid career-threatening underperformance, which is classic "chasing performance" behavior, potentially triggering astonishing surges in broad market ETFs.
