FAQ
Why Bearish?

How important is it?
Given the S&P 500's sensitivity to macroeconomic factors, concerns about rates and supply chains are highly relevant. A significant number of S&P 500 companies are affected by interest rate fluctuations and global supply issues.
Why Short Term?
Market reactions to economic news tend to be immediate; however, longer-term implications will depend on Fed policy direction. Historical trends show that interest rate decisions directly impact investor behavior and stock valuations.
