Recent Trends in the Stock Market: An Analytical Study of Market Dynamics, Investor Behaviour, and Technological Influence
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
The stock market performs a crucial function in modern economic systems by mobilizing savings and allocating financial resources to productive sectors. During the last decade capital markets have experienced remarkable transformation due to financial technology innovation, digital trading infrastructure and expanding participation of retail investors. This research examines recent stock market trends with emphasis on investor behaviour, macroeconomic variables and technological development.
Statistical methods including correlation analysis, multiple regression modelling and analysis of variance are employed to evaluate relationships among selected variables. The results indicate that retail investor participation and technological development contribute positively to market performance while inflation and interest rate changes may create negative pressure on equity returns.
