FAQ

Why Bearish?

The recent decline in S&P 500, coupled with negative economic indicators, may weaken investor confidence. Historically, such downturns often lead to prolonged sell-offs, with S&P 500 dropping in response to similar economic signals.

How important is it?

Weak economic data can lead to reduced consumer spending, affecting corporate profits. Strong correlations exist between these metrics and stock performance, especially for the S&P 500.

Why Short Term?

Current economic indicators suggest immediate market responses. For example, previous declining indicators led to swift market reactions, as seen in 2020 during economic downturns.
