Among the largest forces that impress stock prices are inflation, interest rates, bonds, commodities and currencies. At times the stock market on the spur of the moment reverses itself followed typically by published explanations phrased to suggest that the writer’s keen observation permitted him to predict the market turn.

It is simply a lens through which sector rotation, industry behavior and modifying market thought can be viewed.
