These three stars need to align before investors rush back into stocks, Bank of America strategist says
In short
Investors should resist the urge to buy the dip following this week's sharp decline in equity markets. Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett noted that conditions across other asset classes are not yet favorable for an immediate return. Key milestones across those broader markets must properly align before stocks warrant renewed capital. Market participants are advised to monitor these outside developments rather than rushing back in.
