S&P 500’s road to 8,000 grows tougher as yields rise, AI doubts mount; all eyes on quarterly earnings

The S&P 500's potential path to 8,000 points is becoming increasingly challenging due to rising bond yields and doubts about artificial intelligence's impact on the market. This uncertainty comes as investors await quarterly earnings reports from major companies. The rise in oil prices and bond yields has added to market volatility ahead of the midterm elections, making it difficult for the S&P 500 to reach its target.
