Thought for the Weekend

The behavior of markets or economies simply can’t be explained by looking at just one thing. conomies and markets are extremely complex. They have a variety of different inputs, including earnings, interest rates, psychology, economic activity, fund flows, taxes, sentiment, momentum, geopolitics, etc. The relevant significance of all of these inputs varies over time.
