Interest Rates: Rising interest rates typically increase MAVXX's yield, potentially making it more attractive and boosting its price. Falling rates may decrease its yield and price.

Economic Conditions: A strong economy can lead to higher interest rates and increased demand for money market funds like MAVXX, potentially supporting its price. Economic downturns may have the opposite effect.

Federal Reserve Policy: The Fed's monetary policy decisions, such as changes to the federal funds rate, directly influence short-term interest rates and impact MAVXX's yield and price.

Credit Risk: While MAVXX invests in high-quality, short-term securities, changes in perceived credit risk of these holdings can slightly affect its price.

Supply and Demand: Increased demand for MAVXX can drive up its price, while increased supply (e.g., more investors selling) can lower it.
