Suggestions of a layman: High-frequency trading by supercomputers and other forms of trading are not based on economic prognosis anymore, but on the creation or observation of purely artificial hikes and breaks. This trading behavior now constitutes so much of the market that 'old-school trading' and its idea that the stock exchange best detects supply and demand makes less sense. For the computer, supply and demand do not matter.
Prices for agricultural products, for instance, have doubled and tripled and halved and doubled again independent of the size of the harvest.
