- How the economy affects stocks: growth, inflation, jobs and rates How GDP, inflation, jobs and interest rates feed into company earnings and discount rates, why stocks move before the economy does, and where the link breaks.
- Inflation: what it is, how it’s measured and what it does to money What inflation is, what causes it, how CPI and PCE measure it, why the Fed aims for 2%, and how rising prices affect cash, bonds and stocks, with 1948–2026 data.
- The business cycle: expansions, peaks, recessions and troughs What the business cycle is, its four phases, how long US expansions and recessions have lasted since 1945, what tends to end them, and how unemployment tracks the cycle.
Educational content, not investment advice. Finabase Learn explains how markets and tools work. It does not recommend any security or strategy, and examples are for illustration only. Investing involves risk, including the loss of principal. Rules and figures are for the United States unless stated and can change — check the cited source before you act.
