Yes, so much for the doom and gloom crowd thinking the stock market was going to implode the rest of the year, the recent bear market is fast ending, and labor market is still very strong with a 3.5% unemployment rate. With inflation trending less hot, the Federal Reserve will start slowing interest rate hikes going forward in time after next month.

Hope you're right, but the report yesterday showing that the economy is still growing robustly makes me think the Fed might want to raise interest rates some more. Could it be that the Fed has pulled off the elusive "soft landing"? Maybe, but I wouldn't bet my life savings on it.

The only reason it's gaining momentum is because people are confident that the Biden regime will be a lame duck Presidency and the Democrats are going to get soundly destroyed in the midterms.
Eventually all this inflation has to be reflected in the price of stocks. That's the whole point of investing in the stock market. To protect your wealth against inflation.

the market is still open, and they chose to run a pre-emptive article and you chose to run a pre-emptive thread. Interestingly, the rise in the market correlates well with Oil & Energy stocks. But maybe that's your occupation and you're well aware of the economic principles at play
the market dropped and then saw a recovery in February, June and August, possibly bottoming out in September. The market is up 3% since Inauguration after this strong "month", but there's still Monday to go.
I think for most people, a period when values drop almost 20% and then recover to "well, you made 3% over the last 20 months, be happy!"....they're not happy.
As andywire said, stock prices also suffer from inflation. If inflation is 8.6% and the stock market goes up 8.6%, the stock market didn't go up at all.
Stock markets always gain right before an election, and sometimes a little bit afterwards.
This is a fake rally. Of course, once it begins to crash again, you won't be anywhere to be found. And of course, eventually the stock market will truly rally. Just like it cannot go up forever, it cannot crash forever too.
