Citi Advises Buying US Stocks on Dips, Sees Midterm Elections as Opportunity

Citi's call frames near-term political uncertainty as a tactical entry rather than a risk to avoid, a notable stance given how often election cycles are treated as a reason to de-risk. What matters is the implicit assumption that any pre-midterm weakness is temporary and policy-driven rather than a signal about earnings or liquidity. Whether that framing holds depends on whether the pullback Citi anticipates stays orderly; a disorderly one would test the thesis quickly.
