JERSEY CITY, N.J., July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The intuitive investment and trading platform moomoo has recently completed a 2024 second-quarter U.S. users survey. Similar to last year, moomoo surveyed its users halfway through the year to find out how their investing journey has progressed to-date this year and learn what their expectations for the second half will be. Results showed that the investors in the survey are generally trading more often and gained more profits than at this time last year, but inflation and confidence remain as concerns.
With US markets near all-time highs, investors have adopted more neutral tones on markets, see the possibility of a recession, and are split over Artificial Intelligence (AI) stock valuations. Better-than expected first-quarter earnings, solid economic and employment data, and expectations for improved corporate efficiencies largely driven by generative AI helped push markets to near all-time highs at the end of 2024's first half.
Set against the highs, the S&P 500 was up almost 33% as of June 28, 2024 after its recent bottom in October 2023, while the Nasdaq 100 index was up almost 40%, mostly led by gains in AI stocks. In general, 84% of surveyed investors believe technology stocks could outperform other sectors in the second half of the year.
"While many investors have ridden the market highs in the first half of 2024, a cautious tone permeates the survey results. With uncertainty surrounding inflation, elections, recession and the path of rates, investors are expecting more volatility in the second half," said Justin Zacks, Vice President of Strategy, Moomoo Technologies Inc.
