Investors in US stock markets remain cautious

US stock indices came under pressure this week. However, according to Yahoo Finance, they remain close to historic highs. The market is growing amid improving economic statistics and declining inflation in the US. Nevertheless, most investors remain cautious. Reasons for this subdued mood include uncertainty surrounding Trump's trade policy, a lack of clarity in the Federal Reserve's actions, and escalating geopolitical tensions.

Analytical companies SentimenTrader, Ned Davis Research, and Vanda report that the number of US stocks in the investment portfolios of professional market participants and private investors has decreased. Yahoo Finance experts say this indicates a lack of strong market support from major players.

Investors do not yet believe in the sustainability of the upturn, despite the economy showing more signs of growth than in the spring, Kevin Gordon of Charles Schwab thinks. Some analysts surveyed by Yahoo Finance believe that declining investor interest could hinder further stock growth.
