FAQ

Why Neutral?

While layoffs like Amazon's raise concerns, they aren't yet significant for S&P 500. Historical examples show that not all layoffs lead to broader market impacts unless they reach crisis levels.

How important is it?

Layoff news can shift market sentiment and investor confidence but without a broader pattern, the impact is muted.

Why Short Term?

Current layoffs may cause short-term negative sentiment but won't immediately affect employment rates or consumer spending significantly.
