There are so many moving parts in the markets at the moment that a prediction that far ahead feels ambitious. Tech stocks have driven the index higher this year, but if warnings of a recession are to be believed, that bubble may well have burst by the end of 2020. With tensions between the US and China slowing things down, I think it’s probable that at the very least, growth will have halted, and the Dow Jones may well have dipped before the end of next year – say, to around 26,000.
