Abstract : Investment analysis is pivotal in understanding economic trends, evaluating securities, and determining the risks and returns associated with various investment avenues. This study builds on the foundational work from 2020, focusing on how global factors like technological advancements, the COVID-19 pandemic, and geopolitical conflicts have shaped investor behaviour. By integrating new data on emerging markets, algorithmic trading, and sustainable investments, we aim to provide a more nuanced understanding of current investment patterns. This paper analyses updated data from 2021 to 2024, offering insights for both individual and institutional investors.
