Stock price fluctuations are closely related to national macro policies. As core regulatory tools, fiscal and monetary policies have their mechanisms and implementation effects under intense academic and market scrutiny. This paper conducts research on the impact of government policies and related factors on stock prices. By employing literature review, comparative analysis, and logical analysis, it systematically dissects the action paths of fiscal and monetary policies, explores the policy synergy effects and the influence of market expectations and investor sentiment, and combines practical cases to analyze their application in investor decision-making and corporate planning. The research finds that the impact of policies on stock prices is not the result of a single factor but rather a product of the characteristics of policy tools, industry heterogeneity, market expectations, and cyclical environments. The findings of this paper can enrich the theoretical system of the interaction between financial markets and policies, provide decision-making references for investors, offer a basis for policymakers to optimize policy directions, and assist listed companies in responding to policy environments and improving the healthy development mechanism of capital markets.
