Why do shares go up and down?
Share prices change based on many factors, including company performance, economic news, and investor confidence. For instance, Hilton Food Group's shares jumped because they raised profit forecasts, while Burberry's fell due to poor sales expectations. Global bond rates and upcoming economic reports, like the American jobs report, also influence market sentiment.
