The stock market's growing grip on the real economy
Original: The stock market isn’t the economy, but it’s influencing it like never before
Commentators are highlighting how the stock market, long considered separate from the broader economy, now exerts an unprecedented influence over it. Rising household exposure to equities, the wealth effect on consumer spending, and companies' dependence on market valuations mean stock swings increasingly shape jobs, investment and consumption, blurring the line between financial markets and everyday economic life.
Why now: Investors and readers are weighing how market movements feed back into the real economy amid ongoing volatility.
