Stock markets are currently slightly below all-time highs, with fear driving markets for over a month. Despite extreme fear levels, equity indices are still rising, attributed to pressure release after a strong 2024 run-up and a softer stance from the Federal Reserve. Strong companies have led the charge, with the Nasdaq 100 close to breaking downtrends. Trump’s administration could bring surprises, but the market remains bullish.

Key US indices may continue to grow as risk appetite increases, with a possibility of outperformance from the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500.
