15:55 - 10.09.2026


September 10, Fineko/abc.az. Leading Wall Street brokerages expect the benchmark S&P 500 index to extend its rally through 2026, driven by sustained momentum in artificial intelligence investments and robust corporate earnings growth, even as geopolitical risks persist.

Despite ongoing market anxiety surrounding conflict in the Middle East and its ripple effects on energy markets, analysts maintain an optimistic outlook for equities. High-tech corporate balance sheets and resilient consumer demand are projected to offset geopolitical headwinds, provided inflationary pressures remain contained.
