Here Comes October!

Brothers,

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: +0.57% (New High Achieved)
  • Nasdaq 100: +0.89% 
  • Russel 2000: -0.56%
  • Bitcoin: +4.08%

The stock market experienced a solid bullish trend, with major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq all closing higher, marking new record highs. This uptick was driven by several factors including the announcement of major stimulus in China. Economic data during this period showed mixed signals. Manufacturing PMI indicated softness, though it wasn't significant enough to cause major growth concerns. The major macroeconomic highlights were the cooler-than-expected inflation report and the beat on consumer sentiment. Both of these positive updates added fuel to the bullish rocket.

The week was also highlighted by dovish comments from Federal Reserve members, suggesting a potentially more relaxed monetary policy stance. However, we also saw a cautious approach towards the market's valuation, with some analysts suggesting that despite the current highs, the market might be overvalued in certain sectors. This caution was juxtaposed with strategic investments into sectors like utilities, indicating a pivot towards more defensive or value-oriented positions amid expectations of a slowdown or at least a recalibration of growth expectations.
 
Looking ahead to the following week, we were poised to react to several key economic releases. These include various ISM updates, JOLTs job openings, and perhaps most critically, the unemployment report. Additionally, earnings reports from major companies like Nike are expected, potentially providing insights into consumer spending trends. Fed Chair Powell's speech was also a focal point, expected to offer more clarity on the Federal Reserve's future rate decisions, directly impacting market sentiment. As always, stick to your plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.

Peace,

Thicc Kohrs

Trick or Treat

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: -0.47%
  • Nasdaq 100: -0.79%
  • Russel 2000: +2.09%
  • Bitcoin: -0.52%

Wall Street had a choppy week, with the major indices heading in different directions. The S&P 500 slipped 0.5%, the Nasdaq 100 fell roughly 0.8%, and the Russell 2000 rallied 2%. Tech took the biggest hit as investors started questioning the massive costs behind the AI boom. Meta’s $135 billion to $145 billion spending plans raised some eyebrows, while semiconductor stocks struggled. Tesla beat revenue expectations, but that wasn't enough to shake the broader concerns surrounding tech valuations.

On the economic front, October's flash PMI showed business activity was still growing, although inflation remained a concern. Housing starts fell 5.2%, while leading economic indicators were flat. Meanwhile, tensions between Trump and Iran continued to shake up energy markets, pushing Brent crude above $116 per barrel. Trump suggested the conflict could end quickly, but uncertainty around oil prices remains. Elsewhere, reports of a potential SpaceX wireless carrier weighed on AT&T and T-Mobile.

Next week is shaping up to be a big one. Tuesday brings durable goods orders, new home sales, and consumer confidence. Wednesday features the Fed's rate decision, followed by Q3 GDP and PCE inflation data on Thursday. Friday wraps things up with the employment cost index. Earnings will also be in full swing, with Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Intel, ExxonMobil, and Chevron all on deck. Between the Fed, inflation, earnings, and geopolitical headlines, there's no shortage of potential market movers. As always, stick to your plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
