Rewarding the John Parulis’s article “what just happened to in the stock market?”, government economy plan and Treasury bonds may influence the stock market. And espeacially the government budget increase and government treasury bonds downgraded from AAA to AA+ by standard and Poor’s are important causes for stock market. “Last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose or fell by at least 400 points for four straight days, a stock market first. The worst drop was on Monday, 8-8-11, when the Dow plunged 624 points. Monday was the first day of trading after US Treasury bonds were downgraded from AAA to AA+ by Standard and Poor’s. But the roller coaster actually began on Tuesday, 8-2-11, the day after the last-minute deal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling — a deal that was supposed to avoid the downgrade that happened anyway five days later. The Dow changed directions for eight consecutive trading sessions after that, another first.” (John Parulis)

    Federal Reserve System

    Ben Bernanke was a key player in U.S. economic policy well before the Great Recession, and during that time seems to have achieved almost mythical status. The prolonged economic crisis has kept him front and center in the news, with regular appearances on Capitol Hill and increasingly heated rhetoric from detractors. As Federal Reserve chairman, Bernanke maintains as he attempts to steer the nation onto a steadier economic course. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is, by all accounts, a man of formidable intelligence. He scored 1590 on his SATs, taught himself calculus in high school, and graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University. He then went on to earn his Ph.D. in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with a dissertation on the Great Depression—knowledge that has almost certainly informed his policy moves during the current economic downturn. Ben Bernanke’s bond buying program that has been in place for the last couple of years is starting to be wound back up. US sharemarkets have surged to new record highs on the back of that news, with further gains of around 1.5% just recently, which means that US stocks are up almost 7% in the last two weeks. At the same time, the US dollar has weakened and the yield on government bonds has fallen back, although they remain substantially higher than the yield of a few months ago as the better economic news has underscored a generally sluggish sentiment. It is strikingly clear that Bernanke is not going to make the same mistakes that knee-capped each mini-recovery that emerged during the 1930s Great Depression, when policy-makers prematurely tightened policy on several occasions when there were tentative signs that the economy was improving.…

    I felt it necessary to start my findings this week with a look at Tuesday, also known as Election Day. I found it particularly interesting because it was the only day last week that saw the bond market suffer. I believe bond prices fell because looming debt supply coming later in the day and week. I also believe it was due to speculation on who might win the election. I was led to this conclusion by my knowledge of each presidential candidate’s economic policy, and also an article written by Min Zeng of the Wall Street Journal. In this article the he writes, “In recent weeks, a win by Republican candidate Mitt Romney has been perceived on Wall Street as good for stocks and bad for Treasury bonds. The rationale is Mr. Romney 's economic policy could be more business-friendly and would encourage investors to favor riskier assets. Also hurting Treasury bonds is the risk that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates earlier than it pledged. Mr. Romney has been critical of the Fed 's low-rate policy and has threatened to replace Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, who has spearheaded…

    This article examines how the stock prices affect the GDP. “According to the Federal Reserve Board’s model, a 20 percent decline in stock prices lower the GDP by about 1.25% after one year.” For only one year, we can conclude that yes, the stock market in some ways does effect the economy. Many economists agree that stock market affects the economy, while there are still others that think there are many other influences that affect the economy and not just the stock market. As the Nasdaq fell in 2000, the overall venture capital investing also decreased from the once “booming” pace that was known through the 1990’s.…

    The current 12-month forward S&P500 P/E multiple stands at 17.9, still way below its all-time peak of 25.2 reached in April 1999. Historically, the third hike in the federal funds has presented an obstacle for US equities, although these have not always been an insurmountable barrier for higher prices. Investors have taken the view that reflation and deregulation are sufficient offsets to higher interest rates via their purportedly beneficial impact on corporate profits. They need to pay attention to the 12-month forward S&P500 P/E multiple. Typically, during a Fed tightening cycle, this metric will peak before equity prices. Over the past 25 years, the time lag has varied between 11 months (1999-2000) to just 2 months in 2007. The bottom line is that Fed tightening has eventually ushered in the death knell of equity bull markets by firstly producing P/E multiple compression and subsequently lower equity prices. In the era prior to quantitative easing, the danger signal for equities typically occurred when the 12-month S&P500 prospective earnings yield minus the 10-year Treasury yield dipped below 170 basis points. Currently, this differential stands at just under 320 basis points, thereby implying, by historic standards, a sizeable buffer even as the Fed continues to normalise short-term interest rates. Investors need to be wary that yields on long-dated Treasury security securities are still being aided to the downside, courtesy of the Fed’s continued reinvestment of maturing principal on existing holdings. The cessation of this practice will help to normalise the behaviour of long-term interest rates, as well as helping to define the timing of peak of the S&P500 prospective P/E…

    In 2008, the world economy saw a large recession on the worldwide scale due to the negative influences on the global financial and economic crisis. In the first few months of 2008, world economies faced sky high price increases, which led to the chain of bankruptcy of financial institutions, frozen credit market. Many investors sold off their stock portfolios and looked for less risky assets. MSCI index, the index of emerging economies stocks fell by 60% relative to its peak in Oct, 2007, of which Ukraine index fell by 80%, Rumanian and Bulgarian indices by 75%, Vietnam, China, and India indices by 60%. Although we saw many involvements of most governments and central banks in the financial systems and the economies ( “ money pump”, “ nationalization”, “rescue package”) in the final months of 2008, we expected to see further difficulties to the world economy in 2009, especially the stock markets.…
