The United States is currently in a bear market - a failing economy- anticipated to last until next year. So how long will it take for the economy to return to a good place again?
Bull market economies are when prices are rising as opposed to prices falling in a bear market economy. This rise is usually an increase in stock prices by 20 percent, signaling a healthy economy. So why is the market not bull currently?
The reason we are currently in a bear market as opposed to a bull market is due to a variety of factors. High inflation, repeatedly rising interest rates, an ongoing pandemic, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine all contribute to our current economic downturn. What will it take for the United States to return to a bull market, leaving us all financially better off?
The next bull market is projected to be months away. As the federal reserve tries to cool inflation with rising interest rates, the goal is for more Americans to have more money to spend on things, resulting in an economic rebound.
Bull markets signal a healthy economy where we should have more money for the things we need and want. Investors are hopeful for its return but it will take time for it to happen.
