I've watched the markets for years but I still don't know why it moves the way it does. Who exactly is making all these big moves, in or out, based on the slimmest of news. Most of the news is extremely predictable, but it seems the market is always on a hair trigger waiting for it to land. Takes yesterday, for instance, was it really that much of a shock for Trump to be calling for the head of Powell (again!)? And as for earnings this week, isn't it obvious that the guidance from most companies will be shaky, even if their results are OK? Day traders are having an absolute blast, no doubt, but surely they aren't the reason for these manic swings.
