Misleading Market Headlines

It is almost impossible to know after a trading day’s closing, the moods and sentiments that really drove that day’s market, nor the supply and demand of securities over the global markets that would have had an impact.

Short of a major calamity or an important market-impacting event, the media does not know. But it’s ready with headline answers, as if a market crystal ball has somehow telegraphed some secrets to them.

It’s a shame a crystal ball doesn’t provide accurate information in advance.
