The stock market is constantly influenced by a variety of factors, including the decisions and statements made by the Federal Reserve (FED), inflation rates, and interest rates. Investors need to stay informed about these factors in order to make well-informed decisions about their investments.
One of the biggest influencers of the stock market is the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States. The FED is responsible for making decisions about monetary policy, including interest rates, in order to promote a strong and stable economy. As a result, their statements and actions can have a major impact on the stock market. Recently, the FED has signaled that it may begin to raise interest rates in order to combat inflation, which has caused some volatility in the stock market.
Inflation is another key factor that can impact the stock market. Inflation refers to the increase in the prices of goods and services over time, which can erode the purchasing power of consumers and investors. When inflation is high, it can lead to uncertainty and instability in the stock market. Investors should pay attention to inflation rates and the actions taken by the FED to combat inflation in order to gauge the potential impact on their investments.
Interest rates are also closely tied to the stock market. When interest rates are low, it can make borrowing money and investing in the stock market more attractive. Conversely, when interest rates are high, it can make borrowing money and investing more expensive. As a result, changes in interest rates can have a direct impact on the stock market and the decisions made by investors.
Given these factors, it’s important for investors to stay informed about the latest stock market news and trends. By following the decisions and statements made by the FED, monitoring inflation rates, and keeping an eye on interest rates, investors can better understand the current state of the stock market and make more informed decisions about their investments.
In times of uncertainty, it’s also important to consider diversifying your investment portfolio in order to mitigate risk. This can involve investing in a mix of stocks, bonds, and other assets in order to spread out risk and potentially achieve more stable returns.
In conclusion, staying informed about the latest stock market news is crucial for investors, particularly when it comes to the decisions and statements made by the FED, inflation rates, and interest rates. By staying informed and diversifying their portfolios, investors can make more well-informed decisions about their investments and navigate the complexities of the stock market with more confidence and clarity.
Great video as always. The course was excellent. Just saw this video — can you make a small update on this relating to the current measures? Thanks Professor Carlin!
Great job sven.
Hi Sven, love your content and enthusiasm. Any chance you could share with us some of your fav businesses to invest in????
Hard to predict the future when the FED controls the outcome. THey could either create more Inflation or the opposite and bring in Austerity measures crashing the stock market which I think is the less likely outcome of the 2… Regardless, we are near 0% interest rates and still not enough so when the FED drops back to 0% that is the big question. They said they won't do negative rates and instead buy bonds, etc. 1st. So they are open about what their plan is after reaching 0%.
Buy physical Gold. God has stopped making it and the FED cannot print it.
I think your wrong Sven. The Fed does want to go into negative interest rates. The Fed's only tool is debt and they are doing QE again. They won't stop QE as the banks will collapse. Inflation is far higher than the official figures and that allows them to lower rates.
Really outdone yourself on this one Sven. Thanks for the heads-up.
My favourite investing chanel! Thank you for creating great content.
When figuring out what Fed is doing in open markets (many suspect they do big off-balance sheet operations too) suggest also looking at weekly H.4.1 report from Fed. It shows the commonly reported assets (top of table 1 about $4T) and the obligations (continued table 1 and about $2.5T); e.g. Repos are on balance sheet but there are also about $300B Reverse Repos on the obligation table. Drawing down reverse repos similar to buying repos and gets little attention
Hi Sven. Argentina is going to have its presidential election in 2 weeks. From the way the polls look, the socialist party is going to win (their victory at the preliminaries is the reason the market fell by ~50% in august). Maybe you could make a video on that since it may lead to some more downturn which would make a lot of good companies even more attractive.
Awesome video. Thanks for the breakdown. It is great to learn from a fellow investor.
Great job Sven! I totally agree with your points. In regards when we will enter hyperinflation, we all need to pay attention to governmental fiscal stimulus (aka helicopter money). Gold and silver are rare and used to be money and therefore everyone need to have at least 10% in the portfolio.
I recommend real physical ownership as theses assets are life insurances.
Great video! Direct! Real. Regards.
Never have been a better time to be an investor in this internet era.
Good video. Thank you
Just found out this morning, a family friend has recently lost a substantial part of his meagre life savings through investing in peer 2 peer lending companies. These promised a high interest rate return on his money. He will not get his cash back, as it was not protected by the regulators. All his life he worked hard, tried to do the right thing by his family. A good man. He will be slogging his guts out as a delivery driver forevermore, not able to retire.
My point – knowledge about how companies, interest rates and the economy work are important. As alway, those who can least afford it are the ones to lose money. Can you afford to lose money? Do yourselves a favour…Subscribe to Sven’s Channel, it’s free and you might just learn something that saves you grief and worry. Plus, you get to see that happy smiley face every day (the one on Charlie Mungers book, behind Sven!).
Cheers

Of course you are right that there is inflation in some assets but even this is being crushed. House price inflation is slowing in the West as there is no more fuel from falling interest rates. You forecasted zero or negative real returns on stocks again without the fuel of falling interest rates. I am not sure there will necessarily be an inflationary blow off. I have not come across credible analysis to demonstrate it. Of course the West has had 10 years of negative rates and Japan 30 years with no hyperinflation yet.
Sven, what is your opinion on coal prices
The fed's inflation measurements have no real comparisons to most people's lives
I've been 30% gold/silver for several months now. I noticed that it really reduces the volatility that you might get with just stocks. The gold/silver seem to move opposite to the market on any day. And the trend looks good, so far. Thanks for video, Sven!
Good update
Love the weekly overview of the next videos!
