How Does the Fed Affect the Stock Market?

/

You might think that bear markets and bull markets just sort of happen because of supply and demand and different issues going on in our country and around the world.

But in reality…

The Fed (The Federal Reserve of the United States) causes it.

Let’s dive into how this all works.

The Fed causes big up and down moves in the market.

And if you can learn to recognize what the Fed is thinking, what they’re doing, and what they’re about to do, that is a really important beginner concept to really help your stock trading.

HOW do you do this? By learning how to read between the lines of news stories about the Fed.

In this episode we’ll be talking about:

  • How governments decide when to print money and how this affects the economy
  • What history can tell us about markets, inflation, and the printing of money (this might give you some clues about what’s to come in 2023…)
  • Why you can’t stop inflation AND prevent a recession at the same time (and which one the Fed is focusing on now)
  • How your knowledge of the Fed and how it works can affect your trading outcomes positively
  • Why this is a good time to be making your stock plays shorter
  • One of the safest plays you can do in a market that’s volatile (like this one)

Let’s talk about how the Fed moves the market (or maybe we should say how the Fed manipulates the market, right?)
