[Barclays: Global stock markets are expected to continue to rise before the end of the year] On October 9, Barclays strategists expect that global stock markets will continue to rise before the end of the year, but this prospect depends on bond yields and oil prices remaining stable, as well as the market's continued confidence in investment in the artificial intelligence field. A team led by Emmanuel Kau wrote that U.S. stocks are still supported by AI-related gains, but the market is increasingly dependent on a few technology companies, making the market more fragile. Europe faces pressure from rising financing costs, higher oil prices and France's fiscal woes. Investors are becoming increasingly pessimistic about European stocks, but analysts say fears of a wider financial crisis are overblown. European bank stocks may suffer further sell-off, but their fundamental business remains solid, and third-quarter financial reports are expected to boost market confidence.
