American Market Preferred in Global Poll Showing New Confidence

Global investors are taking more risks with their money and targeting the U.S. as one of the best places to put their funds as they grow increasingly confident in the economic outlook.

More than two of five of those surveyed say they are seeing more opportunities to make money, according to a quarterly Bloomberg Global Poll of 1,000 investors, analysts and traders who are Bloomberg subscribers. That’s the highest level since the poll began in July 2009 and compares with less than one in three who are still hunkering down. The rest of investors in the poll conducted Jan. 20-24 describe the economic environment as getting back to normal.
