Market Performance

Market performance refers to how well financial markets, such as stock or bond markets, are doing over a specific period. It is typically measured by indices like the S&P 500, which track the overall movement of a broad range of stocks. When market performance is positive, it means prices are generally rising, indicating investor confidence and economic growth. Conversely, if it declines, it can signal economic uncertainty or challenges. Market performance provides insight into the health of the economy and helps investors make informed decisions about buying or selling assets.
