Some 69 percent of leaders from mid-size companies across the U.S. said they were optimistic about the global economy this year, more than double the 30 percent in 2017, according to a new study by JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The 2018 Business Leaders Outlook survey was conducted online among mid-size firms from Jan. 2 to Jan. 19, and included 1,685 executives and 955 small-business leaders across various industries in the U.S. Mid-size companies are defined as those with revenue of $20 million to $500 million, while small firms have $100,000 to $20 million.

There's an uptick in overall optimism in America as U.S. tax cuts and looser regulation improve the outlook for domestic growth, according to the report.
