From data that are available in the public domain, and geo-politics, as well as the US domestics economic events, one might be able to conclude that the market in the near future will keep going up for the following reasons (1). Debt ceiling is no longer a concern, at least for now; (2). Strong labor market despite Fed’s unprecedented interest rate hikes; (3). Inflation is under control as results of past months Fed’s policy; (4). Redirected the traditional supply chain disruptions to be more aligned to the allies; (5). Assessments of conflicts and current war in Europe; (6). Possible direct invention to Taiwan is easing (wars do not solve problems as well as lesson-learned from the reality shifts of recent conflicts in Europe); (7). Stronger co-operations among allies surrounding the South-China sea as well as in Europe have deterred further bullies.

With those aforementioned factors and other variables, it is obvious that some countries have learned that the only viable solution for any border conflicts among or between countries can be done through negotiations (not bombs or missiles) based on rules, regulations and accepted and adopted practices in the international settings. The market will pass 34K easily, but no one knows how high will it go. The prosperity among non-BRICS member countries (size matters) will soon become realities through strengthening supply chain and more effective, and fair free-trade based on competitive advantages paradigm. This in-turn will reduce input price, lower output selling price and increase corporate EPS among allies countries.
