Secular Market Definition

Define

“Secular Market”

A
  • A secular market is a market that is driven by forces that could be in place for many years, causing the price of a particular investment or asset class to rise or fall over a long period of time.
  • In a secular bull market, positive conditions such as low-interest rates and strong corporate earnings push stock prices higher.
  • In a secular bear market, where flagging corporate earnings or stagnation in the economy leads to weak investors sentiment, stocks experience selling pressure over an extended period of time.
  • A cyclical market, in contrast, is shorter in duration in its peak-trough-peak movements.
