Shrinking Equity Supply and Market Confidence

Companies are buying back shares at a rapid pace, leading to a significant decrease in the global supply of equities. This trend has surprised analysts at JP Morgan, indicating that executives lack confidence in the market rally and prevailing economic conditions.

This decline in equity supply highlights reservations about market stability and economic outlook.
