Santa Is Coming To Town
Hey,
Key Weekly Performance Stats:
- S&P 500: +1.18%
- Nasdaq 100: +0.78%
- Russel 2000: +1.30%
- Bitcoin: -1.55%
Last week, stocks posted a mixed performance. Early in the week, equities rallied as Treasury yields declined, driven by optimism over potential moderation in Federal Reserve rate policies. The Dow and the S&P 500 reached a record high, buoyed by strength in sectors like solar energy and housing, while tech stocks lagged mid-week amid concerns about valuations and global uncertainties.
On the economic front, the FOMC minutes emphasized a cautious approach to future interest rate cuts, keeping markets focused on inflation trends. Key economic data released during the week included updates to the GDP growth rate, which showed resilience, and the PCE Price Index, which indicated persistently sticky inflation. These data points underscored the complexity of the Federal Reserve’s balancing act between curbing inflation and supporting economic growth.
Looking ahead to the first week of December, we should focus on employment data, particularly the November jobs report. Additionally, the ISM manufacturing index will provide updates on industrial activity. These indicators will be critical in shaping expectations for Federal Reserve policy decisions in December and early 2025. As always, respect your risk and stick to your plan. Godspeed.
Best,
Thicc Kohrs
