Market sentiment has continued to improve following the conclusion of the corporate earnings season and the easing of US recession fears in August.
However, caution prevails as markets await key labor data to be released this week, which will provide further insights into ongoing recessionary concerns in the US. Other significant economic data this week include BNM’s interest rate decision.
