Global Stocks

The global stock market is showing mixed signals as we enter Q2. Alex Wilhelm notes that shares are mostly higher in Asia and Europe, but mixed in the US, with technology shares lagging behind 1. He attributes the lack of significant movement to the upcoming Good Friday, which will see the US stock market closed for the day. This pause in trading might provide a brief respite for the market.
