- NAGA Weekly Recap April 28 - May 2, 2025
As April wraps up, investors find themselves in a balancing act, navigating a market of mixed signals. On one hand, strong corporate earnings and easing inflation are giving reason for optimism. On the other, uncertainties about interest rates and global stability keep the caution levels high.
This week, market action reflects a cautious optimism, as investors carefully weigh both the risks and opportunities that lie ahead.
