During Economic SlowDown and Recession
During periods characterized by economic contraction or recession, corporations generally begin disclosing diminished revenues, suppressed profitability, and weaker expansion forecasts. It is precisely due to this underlying factor that investors and traders commence liquidating shares in firms reporting such disappointing results, consequently pulling the index that tracks these specific equities into a downward trajectory.
