  • Is the 'Bliss' Trade Eliminating Share Market Crash Risks?
    June 20, 2026, 2:54 AM EDT. Wall Street's historic rise, with the S&P 500 topping 7,600, is raising questions about the 'bliss' trade-the belief that government and central bank interventions prevent major market failures. This theory suggests markets have become a near one-way bet, reducing crash risks. However, experts warn of 'moral hazard,' where big firms might take excessive risks, confident in potential rescues, as seen in the 2008 U.S. financial crisis with the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). While such support stabilizes markets temporarily, it may encourage dangerous risk-taking, undermining traditional risk-reward investment principles. Australia's market growth mirrors global trends, but analysts remain cautious about assuming downside protections eliminate crash dangers entirely.
