Impact of Falling Stock Market on the Economy

A significant concern for the US economy is the potential negative feedback loop stemming from a declining stock market. High exposure to equities among households means that a sell-off could lead high-income consumers, who are pivotal for consumer spending, to reduce expenses. This reduction could increase unemployment, further depress the stock market, and create a cycle of economic decline. Such dynamics illustrate how sensitive household consumption is to fluctuations in equity prices.
