Question about English (US)
I just don't understand what makes stock prices go up or down. I have long believed that a lower oil price was very good for world economy. But these days, those 'professional commentators' are claiming it's the opposite. Do they really understand the true mechanism of economy anyway? They all seem to be thinking up plausible explanations only as afterthoughts to me. Does this sound natural?
