It's a topsy turvy world we're in at the moment. Governments have been throwing money around like it grows on trees and telling people to spend, now the banks are trying to stop people from spending due to high inflation. However, Inflation is being driven by high fuel & food prices and poor planning from governments, over reliance on China and Russian oil and supply chain woe's. Putting interest rates up is just increasing prices more, thus fuelling inflation! There's really no playbook for what's happening, the central banks are clueless and all the so called experts are at odds as to what the right thing to do is. How are we mere fools supposed to know? Pretty sure we'll look back on this period in time in disbelief at the stupidity.
Market sentiment is all over the place. It'll just take one or two catalysts (peace in Ukraine, end of lockdowns in China etc) to settle things down again and stocks will start trading on their own individual merits again. That's just my feeling though!

Not financial advice!
