Making Money Minute with Ron Hiebert - Economic Growth & Stock Markets
Stock investors often look at countries economic growth rates as a signal of where to invest. Obviously the higher the growth rate, the more likely stock market returns will move right along with it. But this isn’t always the case. China has had the highest economic growth of any major economy for decades, but its stock markets have gone no where. The US on the other hand has had the world’s most dynamic stock markets over the last ten years. Yet during this time, growth has been slowing. Stock market performance is complex and can’t be reduced to a simple formula.
