Quantitative easing (QE), where a central bank buys assets to increase the money supply and lower interest rates, can positively impact the stock market by encouraging investment and boosting corporate profits, potentially leading to higher stock prices. 

 

 

 

As of April 4, 2025, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) is in a phase of quantitative tightening (QT), which is the opposite of quantitative easing (QE), where the Fed is reducing its balance sheet by not reinvesting all the proceeds of maturing securities. 

 

Here's a more detailed explanation: 

 

• Quantitative Easing (QE):

  During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fed implemented QE, purchasing large amounts of Treasury debt and mortgage-linked securities to inject liquidity into the market and support the economy.
• Quantitative Tightening (QT):

  As the economy recovered, the Fed began to reduce its balance sheet through QT, starting in June 2022, by not reinvesting all the proceeds from maturing securities.
• Current Status:

  The Fed is currently in the process of shrinking its balance sheet through QT, which involves allowing assets to mature and not replacing them.
• Future Outlook:

  The Fed has indicated that it will eventually end QT, but the timing is uncertain, and it will depend on economic conditions.

This is directly extrapolated to low (QE) and high interest rates (QT) situations.

How can you say that we will be okay on a long run? Investor confidence is very crucial. Otherwise people will not invest in markets. That’s a big loss for stock markets. Thatha should stop playing games like this. 

It is disastrous for recently entered . For others it is just 30% gone from 200-300% gains. Long term planning is required.

Margin effect bro. When markets crash, good stocks also fall as investors sell good stocks to cover the margin call

Nah what you are not factoring is all the forward pe, peg are ** up now. Companies are not going to see the earnings projected before anytime soon. So market is just factoring it.

There are stock exchanges in Toronto, London, Hong Kong and Mumbai...all of them have their version of indexed funds...

For ex,I heard long ago that Canadian banks are more stable investments than US banks..

I guess India has something called Nifty-Fifty or something tracking the top 50 companies in India...even western funds offer nifty-fifty portfolios now...

Also, other alternatives for personal investments include Bonds, real estate, Gold/silver etc

not a single one comes up with anything ground breaking or worth while - except Switzerland and Israel, both are too small to take in the rotation from the S&P 500; there is no innovation nor new concepts that the world brings to the table, which these folks don't.

exactly until supply chains move- or tariff related price pressures come out and hikes come in, and then results show- it will be at least a few quarters to see the wholesome impact - only results to watch next quarter is Walmart- to get an idea of where this is heading, that will be the best indicator in the short term

Investment is not just about innovation and NASDAQ listings...it is about investing in stable companies that perform well over time...Utilities companies, Oil and gas, Insurance, Finance, Consumer products, Pharma etc are best bets and most indexes are made of these companies...
