Which Factors Influence the Stock Price Movements?

Selecting stocks is a challenging task amid highly volatile financial market environment. The stock market movements depend on the sentiments of the market participants and the two prominent emotions include greed and fear. Evolving fundamentals and macroeconomic factors such as GDP growth, socio-political stability, inflation, currency, and interest rate changes, etc. also influence the stock prices. Technical analysis is one of the two main schools of market analysis used to assess the price direction based on an identifiable price-pattern that repeats.
