Movements in capital markets are increasingly being driven by two economic factors, inflation and interest rates, that are beyond the ability of individual investors to control. While a particular company’s prospects still matter, as evidenced by the impact of recent profits warnings in the retail sector, changes in portfolio values are more likely to reflect the latest news on rising prices, the reactions of central banks through interest rate policy, its likely effect on the economy and, ultimately, on corporate profits. 

Stocks featured:

Exxon Mobil Corp, Intel Corporation, Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook) and Target Corp
