Ned Davis Research – Markets In Motion

The history of the stock market performance in different economic and political environments provides critical clues on how the market will behave in the future. Trends in inflation, industrial production, money supply, and interest rates can be directly correlated to stock market movements. As economic environments evolve, the ability to reference similar environments from the past give traders and investors an edge in determining the future direction of the stock market. Markets in Motion is a graphical overview of the economic conditions and events that have influenced the U.S. stock market since 1900. The book is divided into decades. The graphs display the performance of the Dow Jones Average, the Dow Jones price to dividend ratio, industrial production, money supply, consumer price index, T bill rate, and the Discount rate. Embedded on the graphs are short descriptions of important political, economic, and historical events.
