Faced with this assumption, the FED ensures that people have begun to return to their sources of employment. And while the number of the current August report is disappointing, he expects the next reports to be more encouraging, as profits will be curtailed in the coming months anyway if August does not spoil them.

Dow Jones industrial average: 35,388.18, 0.16% less (55.64 points)
Nasdaq Composite: 15,298.37, down 0.23% and S&P 500: 4,529.05, down 0.17%
Principal Global Investors Chief Strategist Seema Shah has said that substantial progress is being added to the very economy despite high levels of inflation. Meanwhile, the Central Bank and the Federal Reserve continue to focus on increasing and recovering jobs to reduce their asset purchases.
Meanwhile, the Fed continues to exert its stimuli to boost stocks in the short term. This and other strategies such as cutting subsidies and aid for the unemployed also make it possible to promote the recovery of jobs in the shorter term.
Final words:
The good news for investors is that as long as the Fed offers any sign of remaining completely accommodating, the stock market responds to these stimuli favorably. The CEO recently said this of investment firm ZEGA Financial, Jay Pestrichelli, in response to the decline in US stocks.
