Global investors welcomed a wave of optimism following a notably shortened trading week that saw many major markets closing earlier than usual. Shares in technology and natural resources surged as expectations of lower inflation and robust earnings reports gained traction. London’s chief market officer, James Hart, commented that the positive sentiment is driven by a blend of easing fiscal pressures and steady economic data. Institutional investors have shifted portions of their portfolios into government bonds to hedge against potential volatility. Analysts predict that this bullish mood could persist as the world anticipates a steady growth trajectory in the coming months.
