#MarketRebound Market Rebound in 2024

Global markets surged in mid-2024, fueled by easing inflation, Fed rate-cut signals, and cooling trade tensions. The S&P 500 soared 9% in Q2, nearing all-time highs, while Bitcoin reclaimed $70,000 amid $30B+ ETF inflows. Key drivers:

Policy Shifts: Fed’s projected 0.75% rate cuts, China’s stimulus ($138B property bailout), and U.S.-China tariff rollbacks .

Corporate Resilience: AI-driven tech earnings (NVIDIA +200% YoY) and energy stocks offsetting regional bank stress .

Crypto Revival: Bitcoin halving and ETH ETF approvals ignited a $400B crypto market cap surge .

Risks linger: sticky services inflation, geopolitical conflicts, and debt sustainability concerns. Yet, investor sentiment hit 2-year highs, with JPMorgan forecasting a "soft landing" rally into 2025. Commodities (oil, copper) also rebounded on manufacturing optimism .

Outlook: Cautious bullishness prevails, hinging on sustained disinflation and earnings growth.
