Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.

Ever wondered why stock markets swing wildly one day and barely budge the next? In this episode, Andrew Baxter and Mitch cut through the noise and deliver the meat and potatoes answer every investor needs, breaking down exactly why stocks go up and down without the jargon heavy rubbish you would normally hear from the so called experts on TV.

At the heart of it all is one powerful idea: price and value are two very different things. Andrew unpacks what actually moves stock markets and it is not as complicated as the technical talking heads would have you believe. From macro forces like interest rates, inflation, and economic outlook, to micro factors like company earnings, CEO guidance, and share buybacks, this episode covers the full picture in plain English.

You will also discover why human psychology, think FOMO, fear, and herd mentality, is arguably the biggest driver of market sentiment, and why understanding that can genuinely tilt the odds in your favour as an investor.

Whether you are just getting started or you have been in the market for years, this episode will sharpen the way you think about what moves stock markets and how to read the signals that actually matter.

Andrew keeps it simple, practical, and straight to the point because the best investing decisions rarely come from overcomplicating things.
