The recent ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran has led to a significant shift in investor sentiment, with a net $28 billion flowing into U.S. equities since the announcement. This marks a stark contrast to the $56 billion pulled from U.S. stocks earlier this year, particularly as major investment banks upgrade their outlook on U.S. equities, citing resilience in corporate earnings, especially within the technology sector. The S&P 500 has rebounded, now sitting 2% above pre-war levels, while European and Asian markets are facing record outflows, with South Korean equity funds experiencing a $2.5 billion outflow. The International Monetary Fund has also revised its growth forecasts, lowering the euro zone's expected growth to 1.1%, while slightly adjusting U.S. growth down to 2.3%. This shift indicates a renewed confidence in the U.S. market as investors reassess their strategies in light of geopolitical developments.
