Will there be a rise in the capital market in 2021?

 The farewell year was completely different for the people of the world. Millions of people have lost their livelihoods due to a virus called corona. Again, many have to live with government incentives from home. However, the world capital market has surprised. Although there was a major landslide in March, the sector was quite good throughout the year.

 That position of the big indicators

 The most troubled country in Corona so far is the United States. However, the biggest beneficiaries were US capital market investors. At the end of the year, the share price of the technology sector has increased significantly. The Nasdaq index rose 42 percent. On the other hand, S&P 500 has increased by 15 percent.

 However, the fate of the capital market in the United Kingdom, which is plagued by the Corona, is similar to that of the United States. Shares of oil companies, banks and airlines fell sharply, sending the FTSE 100 index down 14 percent. However, at the end of the year, the capital market was somewhat stable. The post-Brexit trade agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom, which was originally enacted into law with the approval of the British Parliament, has had an impact on the stock market.

 In the new year, the world stock market may be like that

 The new year is not without its fears. The virus called corona is still hitting the world. In the meantime, investors feel there is some room for optimism. Analysts believe that there will be a positive trend in this financial market. One of the reasons is the vaccine. Hopefully, it will be possible to prevent corona due to the vaccine throughout the year. It is difficult to quantify the risk of high expectations, as the psychological upward trend is revealing. For example, the technology-based US Nasdaq index has risen the most this year. The companies listed in this index are Google's Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook. So the share price of these companies will continue to rise.

 In a report by Forbes, capital market analyst John Jennings said: It will be upward and downward. John thinks such indefinite predictions are unsatisfactory, but it is almost precise. More specific comments can mislead investors.

 In an interview with CNBC, US capital market analyst Jean Munster said investors need to pay close attention to individual technology companies to find out what the capital market was like in 2020. Shares of both Apple and Amazon rose nearly 60 percent, Netflix rose 60 percent, while Facebook and Alphabet rose 30 percent.

 Munster thinks that in 2020, advertising-based technologies did not gain much. Such as Google and Facebook. According to Munster, Apple can do the best in 2021. Prices could rise by 51 percent. And as a result, Apple could become a 3 trillion company.
