In the latest AAII poll covering the week ending June 25, 44.9% of individual investors expect the market to rise over the next six months, the highest level since mid‑January. This marks a 14.5‑point increase over the previous two weeks, the biggest bi‑weekly gain since May 2025 and the third largest surge since November 2023.
Conversely, only 36.1% of retail investors held a bearish outlook for the same period, the lowest proportion since mid‑May. The net bullish sentiment therefore rose to a positive 8.8 points, turning positive for the first time in six weeks.
