Opening Bell: Another 10% lower to go for stocks

Good morning. Max Adams in for Phil Rosen today. At least one big firm has put a number on how much further stocks have to fall before they hit the bottom. The bad news is that the odds of a recession have doubled. The good news is that an end to this sell-off might be in sight.

1. The S&P 500 will fall another 10% before the sell-off bottoms out. The investment chief at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management said the odds of two consecutive quarters of negative growth doubled after the Fed's super-sized rate hike this month, and there's another 5%-10% lower to go for stocks.

That would be on top of the already 20% slide in the S&P 500, which has put the market on track for the worst first half of the year since 1970. Morgan Stanley's Lisa Shalett said that stocks have further to fall because investors still aren't pricing in the Fed's new hawkishness.

There is hope, though, for a second half rally. According to analysts at Ned Davis Research, there are five things that need to line up in order for stocks to come back in the latter part of this year.

These include a pullback in inflation, avoiding a recession, and a favorable result for the market in the upcoming midterm elections — check out what else investors need to happen here.

"Extremely weak first halves are almost always followed by strong second halves," NDR's Ed Clissold said. "Bear markets do not just end on their own. Macro factors turn in the market's favor."
