Some Remarks:
What are some explanatory variables for the Dow Jones.?
During the recent years, a set of measures in Monetary Policy by the Federal Reserve: Quantitative Easing and Lower Rates, have created a boost in the stock market. With increases in the Dow Jones to historic heights, is there any research explaining such behavior?
if so, what are the variables used?
What is the definition of the Balance Sheet of the Federal Reserve?
what are the rates that the Federal Reserve is keeping at almost zero for the last years (note that this rates will increase during March). Answer: interest rate
Maybe other variables could be useful in this model?
what about Oil Price and Gold Price?
As you see this is a research where you have to investigate other papers in this subject and analyze the current information.
