Preferred term

bull markets  

Definition

  • A bull market is a market characterized by rising prices for securities, usually stocks, within a context in which market participants are optimistic that the trend increase in the value of the market index will continue for some time to come. It is therefore the exact opposite of a bear market, not only in the direction of price changes, but also in the psychology of investors. [Source: Encyclopedia of Governance; Bull Market]
