The brokerage has set a "base case" target of 30,333 and "bull case" target of 36,939.

The brokerage has believes base case has a 50% chance "with moderate rise in US yields, stable global growth and good policy momentum."

The probability of a bull case is 40% driven by "better-than-expected outcomes - most notably on policy - leading to a strong bull market, allowing for a sharp decline in domestic short rates making equities inexpensive."                 Jackpot Trading Tips
