Marc Faber told MarketWatch that the stock-market downturn could result in the S&P 500 hitting lows not seen in five years. Faber’s dour forecast is that the S&P 500, which ended Thursday trading at 1,943, amid a China-fueled global market rout, could plunge to its 2011 low. According to FactSet data, that would be 1,099.23, set that October. Faber referred to that outcome, a more-than-40% plunge in the broad stock-market benchmark, as his “medium bearish” scenario. His most bearish prognostication envisages the S&P 500 falling back to its 2009 nadir, which FactSet data put at 676.53.
