priced in
Market already knows
Priced in describes information or expectations already reflected in a market price.
When traders anticipate an event—a rate hike, an earnings report, a political outcome—they adjust prices beforehand.
By the time the event occurs, the market doesn't move much: The Fed's decision was already priced in.
If something isn't priced in, the market reacts sharply when it happens.
