Jan 16 (Reuters) - UBS Global Research boosted its 2024 year-end target for the S&P 500 on Tuesday to 5,150, the highest among major global banks, representing a nearly 8% upside from current levels.

The European brokerage earlier expected the index to end 2024 at 4,850.

"While earnings should drive 2024 returns, falling interest rates should support incrementally higher multiples," UBS strategists said in a note.
