Understanding Bear Markets
The distinction between event-driven bear markets and cyclical bear markets is crucial in assessing current market conditions. In an event-driven bear market, such as one triggered by tariffs, the market typically experiences quicker declines and recoveries, while cyclical bear markets, which are more common, often coincide with recession periods. Historical data reveals that both scenarios can lead to significant equity falls of approximately 30%. However, the main concern lies in how quickly investors and corporations can adapt to the economic shifts, particularly in pricing for potential recessions and profit declines.
