When the value of money goes up, that means there is less money in circulation. When it goes down, there is more money in circulation. This translates directly to the stock market and drives stock prices up  or down accordingly. Stock holders see their stocks rising in value or falling in value and most often do not factor in money in circulation globally and their overall influence on stock prices and values that also brings in currency trading as a part of stock prices and value. Stock value depends on what the stock does with its money and how their business is doing. If you own stock in a shipyard and the shipyard gets a lucrative government contract, the value of their stock goes up and the price of stock on the stock exchange goes up. Past performance shows the history of the stock over time and what influences the value of stock but stock reports generally do not show how the value of currency has affected your stocks. When that is factored into a running forecast the value of stocks changes much less over time and the facts become clear comparing that to the stock reports and historical data performance comes into view. Interestingly predicting stock market variations as a result of factoring collective influences will flatten the trade lines to a bare wiggle that can be attributed to hysteria more than factual influences. So this involves a study of market hysteria influences. which will show the markets as running flat. The influence factors are driving markets.
