00:00 Wall Street has seen many fluctuations in 2023, but it was undoubtedly the best performance since 2022, when geopolitical tensions and the Russian-Ukrainian war and the rise of inflation in the markets have increased.
00:19 The S&P 500 index, which represents the performance of the largest 500 Wall Street companies, has risen 24% since the beginning of the year.
00:29 If we invested $1,000 at the beginning of the year, we would now have $1,240.
00:34 But what are the main reasons that supported the S&P 500?
00:38 First, the American federalism and monetary policy. Second, the Magnificent Seven stocks, which we will talk about in detail later.
00:49 The best five sessions in 2023.
00:52 The best session was on January 6, when it rose 2.3% in support of the data on revenues and the increase in interest rates, which began to reflect on the inflation data.
01:03 Also on January 20, it rose 1.9% in support of Wall Street's results for 2023.
01:11 On April 27, it rose 2% in support of the results of the first quarter of 2023, after reflecting on the impact of the revolution launched by the GDP chain in the industrial intelligence world and in technology stocks.
01:28 Also on November 2, it rose 1.9% in support of the American federalism and the beginning of the confirmation of interest rates.
01:37 On November 14, it also rose by the same percentage after the inflation data came in better than expected.
01:44 But the worst five sessions in 2023.
01:48 We start with February 21, when it dropped 2% because the federalism raised interest rates and there is a fear of continuing to raise interest rates.
01:58 On March 9, the S&P 500 fell by 1.9% approximately, and that was after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and the Egyptian dollar, which was affected by this bank.
02:13 Also on April 25, when it fell by 1.6% in the 100, and that was after the collapse of First Republic Bank.
02:22 Also on September 21, when it fell by 1.6% in the 100 in 2023.
02:30 The federalist and monetary policy tone had a big impact on Wall Street's performance in 2023.
02:39 The fear of monetary policy and inflation affected 6 of the 12 sessions in 2023.
02:48 The American federalism raised interest rates approximately four times in 2023.
02:53 It raised it by 100 points to reach a total of 525 points since the beginning of the inflationary rates in March 2022.
03:05 The Fed also raised interest rates by 4 times in the 5.5% level, which is the highest level since 2001.
03:20 On January 6, the best sessions in the 100 were held at 2.3%, which is a sign of a calm economy without a downturn.
03:35 On February 21, the worst sessions in the 100 were held at 2%, which is a sign of a downturn due to the fear of continuing to raise interest rates.
03:44 However, there was a noticeable positive performance of the S&P index, with the support of several stocks,
03:51 one of which was the Magnificent Seven.
03:53 The Magnificent Seven is the largest of seven tech companies in the US market.
03:59 It was ranked on the Magnificent Seven's throne, which is Nvidia, when it rose by 240%
04:05 after the impact of the GDP chart in the late 2022 revolution in the world of artificial intelligence and technology stocks.
04:15 Broadcom also rose by 103%.
04:18 This is a company specialized in similar data centers and data centers, and it rose after acquiring VMwaves.
04:25 It also benefited from the rise in the stock prices of technology companies and the rise in demand for patents.
04:30 Also, Lily, a pharmaceutical company, rose by 60%, after many experiments with new products and new drugs.
04:40 One of the most prominent of these drugs is a drug that reduces weight.
04:46 In 2023, the S&P 500 witnessed 133 sessions, compared to 108 sessions only in 2002.
04:56 In 2023, the S&P 500 witnessed 144 sessions, compared to 122 sessions only in 2002.
05:06 The S&P 500's fluctuation rate in 2023 was 26% of the days of the trend,
05:16 while the 1% fluctuation rate in 2023 was 48% of the days of the trend.
05:28 This is due to geopolitical tensions in 2022, when Russia began its war with Ukraine last year.
