|
| | Mood of the Market Investor Sentiment: Cautious but Constructive Markets rebounded modestly on Monday, with investors selectively reentering risk assets after last weekâs pullback. The tone was cautiously constructive, as traders showed renewed interest in mega-cap tech and industrial names while remaining wary of rate and inflation headlines. Gains were driven more by sector rotation than broad enthusiasm, with defensive areas lagging and cyclical names drawing fresh attention. With the Fedâs policy update and key inflation data on deck, investors appear willing to participateâbut only with discipline and a clear eye on macro risks. The mood remains balanced: not euphoric, but no longer overtly defensive. |
