MoneySpeak: The Fluctuating Stock Market
These economic indicators are statistical snapshots that either report Business and consumer spending patterns or predict if we'll spend more or less in the coming months. Why should Wall Street care what we do on Main Street? "Consumer spending makes up two-thirds of the U.S. economy," says Jeremy Siegel, finance professor at the Wharton School and author of Stocks for the Long Run. "How we spend our dollars has a big impact on corporate profits." We asked Professor Siegel to select the ten most influential indicators and explain how and why they affect the market.
