What is a Business Cycle?

  • The business cycle refers to the natural rise and fall of economic growth that occurs over time.
  • It typically includes four phases: Expansion (rising economic activity), Peak (maximum growth), Contraction (declining growth), and Slump (lowest point of the cycle).
  • Each phase affects different sectors of the economy in unique ways.
  • Investors can leverage these cycles to identify opportunities and manage risks effectively.
