If you want to invest in the stock market, you must know about the factors that influence the stock market. One of the factors that impact the stock market is politics. If you watch the stock market closely, you will notice that it tends to move up or move down right after a new government is elected. The stock market also moves when a powerful politician says something good or bad about it. Likewise, when the government introduces new policies, the stock market can fluctuate. For the stock market to do well, your country needs a stable government and the government needs to have liberal policies.
