The market is digesting a large volume of new information, spanning from coronavirus and continuing trade war negotiations to a second inversion of the yield curve and, of course, an upcoming presidential election.
Vanguard’s recent “Market Perspectives” touches on a number of these issues. While each issue is important for investors to be aware of, it’s also important to remember that the market is constantly incorporating new information into stock prices, as well as expectations for future developments. So, while some of these developments might be unnerving, investors should be reassured that all of these developments have already been incorporated into current stock prices.
