The stock market plays a crucial role in the functioning of financial markets that facilitates capital formation, investment, and economic growth by allowing companies to raise funds and investors to buy and sell ownership stakes.
The stock market is likely to remain volatile as investors weigh the competing forces of strong corporate earnings and economic growth against the risks of inflation, geopolitical tensions, and elevated valuations.
It is indisputable that the stock market is advancing significantly due to rapid technological developments. The ability for investors to engage in cross-border transactions has notably increased trading volumes in recent days. Additionally, there has been a substantial rise in the participation of individual investors in the market.
