Market Outlook

Analysts note that the sharp rise in select equities reflects both improving fundamentals and speculative momentum, with many investors shifting away from traditional hedges like gold in favor of higher-risk, high-reward assets. However, they caution that volatility may remain elevated in the second half of the year, particularly amid global economic uncertainty and interest rate shifts.
