Morgan Stanle2026-08-24 10:47:00Morgan Stanley warns another oil spike could hit U.S. stocks, favors energy shares as a hedgeMorgan Stanley strategist Michael Wilson said another sharp rise in oil prices is the biggest risk facing the U.S. stock market right now and recommended energy stocks as a hedge for portfolio risk. Wilson said further gains in oil could push bond yields higher and eventually force the Federal Reserve to respond, as Fed Chair Walsh is seeking to bring inflation back to target. He added that, at that point, more responsibility would fall on the Fed rather than the Treasury, though he does not expect an immediate response before markets go through more turbulence. As part of that view, Wilson pointed to energy equities as a practical way to manage the risk of a renewed surge in oil prices. He also noted that Exxon Mobil Holding Company and Chevron shares have both climbed more than 30% this year, outperforming the S&P 500 by more than two times. More broadly, Wilson reiterated his preference for what he described as high-quality stocks, referring to companies with steadier earnings, higher margins and stronger operating efficiency.1630
