1 Unstoppable Stock to Buy Without Hesitation If There's a Bear Market in 2022
The stock market is not off to a hot start this year: The S&P 500 declined by 7% through the first four weeks of 2022.
In many ways, the U.S. economy bounced back from the pandemic more quickly than expected, but this has led to a combination of high demand for goods and commodities, supply chain troubles, and a low unemployment environment, all of which are feeding into stronger inflation than the country has seen in a few decades.
As a result, the Federal Reserve is bringing its period of ultra-accommodative, loose-money policy to an end. The central bank plans to begin raising the benchmark fed funds interest rate from its current rock-bottom level starting in March, and will begin gradually reducing the amount of bonds on its balance sheet. All of this is putting some downward pressure on stock prices.
