As you all already know about the ongoing geopolitical tension around the world is affecting the market tremendously, yet how is Wall Street pushing toward record highs?
Many investors have the same question.
”Why are markets rising when the world still feels uncertain?”
1)Artificial Intelligence
\\-The vital force behind this is simply AI. Companies related to semiconductors and AI infrastructure are receiving massive investing crowds as people believe AI could be the biggest productivity improvements since the release of internet.
2)Investors are looking for long term returns
\\-Investors aren’t concerned about the ongoing tensions, the inflation and more as they strongly believe these hurdles will not permanently damage the market growth.
