On 18 December, Bank of America's December Global Fund Manager Survey found that investor sentiment was ‘super optimistic’ in December. The report said investors' allocations to cash were at an all-time low, while allocations to US equities were at an all-time high.
Global risk appetite is at a three-year high, the report said, driven by economic growth optimism related to Trump's second term in office and the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts.
