Bank of America Warns: US Stock Market Echoes 2008 Crisis Scenario as Oil Prices Surge

Bank of America has issued a stark warning that the US stock market is showing alarming similarities to the period preceding the 2008 financial crisis. Analysts led by Michael Hartnett point to oil prices soaring over 60% this year amid Middle East tensions—a pattern eerily reminiscent of the 2008 run-up—and predict a potential 10% market correction. The current environment, marked by sector-wide uncertainty and geopolitical strain, mirrors the 'subprime tremors' that triggered the last major collapse.
