Goldilocks Economy

A Goldilocks scenario on the stock market describes a market situation in which the economy and the financial markets are in a balanced state.

A Goldilocks scenario describes a "perfect" market.

Interest rates are low, economic growth remains stable and inflation appears moderate.

Similar to the fairytale story "Goldilocks and the Three Bears", everything is neither too hot nor too cold, but just right.

Investors often feel comfortable in this situation and have confidence in the market, which can lead to rising share prices. However, it is important to note that such an ideal situation rarely lasts long and market conditions can change at any time.
