Analysts at the bank say their discussion with clients indicate to much attention being paid to downside risks, and overlooking 5 key potential triggers for higher prices yet to come:
- Earnings reports remain positive
- The 'Goldilocks macroeconomic landscape to underpin valuations
- Ongoing momentum in artificial intelligence developments
- Market breadth improvement
- Little sign of clear sell signals
