If the markets followed the news, they would crash and stay down. Why in the middle of the COVID uncertainty did they start rising again in March 2020? Nobody knows. And nobody knows the "why" of the markets, just the "what" - and the news is just made up afterwards to fit the market's movements.
If in one week or one month Ukraine is still invaded and the markets are up, what does that mean?
- theandrewbailey 5y ago> If in one week or one month Ukraine is still invaded and the markets are up, what does that mean? It means that things have stabilized. Markets hate uncertainty. If the Russians stay in Ukraine, that's bad news for sure, but it means things have stopped changing.
- llampx 5y agoHow about today? What changed between the morning and the afternoon that the market went up from ~4100 to ~4300?
- eaenki 5y agoIt’s not like every person institution and algorithm sells at the same time lol. Also, cascading effects. Markets hate instability, and any price takes time to consolidate. It might never “consolidate”during high volatility. dont see this as up as down but rather as volatility because yep it’s a volatile time
