Market Optimism refers to a general positive sentiment among investors and market participants regarding the future performance of financial markets or specific assets. This outlook often results from favorable economic indicators, strong corporate earnings, positive news developments, or overall confidence in economic growth. When market optimism is high, investors are more likely to buy stocks and other assets, driving prices upward.
