Market Outlook

For the next 30 days, I am bullish on the market. The positive sentiment is driven by the expected interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, which are likely to stimulate economic activity. Additionally, the recent recovery in major indices and strong economic indicators, such as GDP growth and controlled inflation, support a positive outlook. However, it's important to remain cautious of any unexpected economic data or geopolitical events that could impact market conditions.
