Stubborn markets · 10 juillet 2023

Stubborn is undoubtedly one of the words that best characterize the financial markets since the beginning of the year.

The Nasdaq even posted a stunning return of more than 30%. This was the best start to the year since 1983.

The last month of the semester was just as promising as the beginning of the year. Despite colossal macroeconomic uncertainty, investors demonstrated their optimism, pushing all asset classes in the right direction.
