The co-movement of stock prices and the risk-free rate in the United States is weak in terms of the correlation and variance decomposition. It is essential for investors and policymakers to understand such co-movement, especially when several well-known asset pricing models imply a much stronger relationship than the one empirically observed. To explain this inconsistency, this paper presents a model with internally rational agents who optimally update their subjective beliefs about stock prices. Compared with the risk-free rate, agents' subjective beliefs are essential for generating stock market volatility. Quantitatively, our model can jointly produce basic asset market facts and the weak co-movement.
