Stock markets expect Wall Street to rise
European stock markets rise mid-session, with investors ready to bet on interest rate cuts in 2024. Slowing inflation, the global economy, and labor market data in the United States are leading analysts to assume a pause in restrictive monetary policy. And lower interest rates next year.
