My 3 Biggest Stock Market Predictions for July
Seasonally, the month of July isn't known for stock market strength as fund managers go on vacation and trading volumes dry up. With low volumes often come swift stock moves, however, and July 2022 could be poised for a ramp-up in volatility.
As the old saying goes, from volatility comes opportunity. Amid geopolitical strife and whipsaw market moves, this summer is as unpredictable as it gets -- yet market participants must engage in some form of prediction just to make sense of the situation. With that in mind, I'll now stick my neck out and propose a trifecta of forecasts for what looks to be a wild, weird 31 days.
If one word describes the financial markets of the 2020s, it's efficient. All investors have instant access to the latest available information, and the data gets priced in immediately. As a result, the market is extremely forward-looking as everyone tries to stay one step ahead of the crowd -- and this results in crowded trades.
