These 3 Wall Street strategists nailed the huge stock market rally that shocked most peers. Here’s what they expect to happen next.

• The stock market is up nearly 20% so far this year, officially ending last year’s bear market.
• Few on Wall Street expected the surge — except Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, Carson Group’s Ryan Detrick, and market veteran Ed Yardeni.
• Here’s what the three strategists expect the stock market to do in the second half of the year.

The stock market’s year-to-date rally of nearly 20% surprised just about everyone on Wall Street — except Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, Carson Group’s Ryan Detrick, and market veteran Ed Yardeni.

All three strategists saw something most others did not, mainly that easing inflation and the avoidance of a recession would help power stocks out of the 2022 bear market and towards new 52-week highs.
