Global stock markets are experiencing an upward trend, buoyed by positive economic data from the United States. U.S. stock index futures have increased, following a late rally last week, as investors show renewed interest in technology stocks, driven by optimism surrounding artificial intelligence. The major indices on Wall Street have reached weekly highs, reflecting this positive sentiment. The VIX, a measure of market volatility, has also declined, indicating a more stable market environment as investors await crucial economic data that could influence future U.S. monetary policy.
