experiencing support from strong earnings growth amid persistent inflation, primarily driven by artificial intelligence (AI) investments.<\/li>\n<li>The surge in AI-related spending, particularly by major technology companies, is both supporting economic growth and contributing to higher inflation, complicating the monetary policy outlook.<\/li>\n<li>There is an expectation of further interest rate hikes as inflation remains persistent, possibly influencing monetary policy over the coming months.<\/li>\n<li>Earnings expectations for US companies, especially those engaged in AI investment,
