Goodbye October, Hello November
Key Weekly Performance Stats:
- S&P 500: +0.71% (New High)
- Nasdaq 100: +1.94% (New High)
- Russel 2000: -1.28%
- Bitcoin: -1.34%
Last week, market momentum held strong to close out October. The S&P 500 climbed around 0.7%, and the Nasdaq popped roughly 2.2%, buoyed by standout tech earnings from the likes of Amazon and fresh strength in longer-dated Treasuries following the Federal Reserve’s announcement. Growth stocks carried the day, while smaller-cap names lagged behind -- funny how the size of your ticker still matters.
The economic calendar delivered its punchy moments: On Tuesday, the Consumer Confidence print came in a bit softer (94.6). Wednesday was full force with the Fed lowering rates by 25 bps to 3.75% and leaned into a “we’ll see how the data looks” narrative. Additionally, various positive (ie bullish) developments were revealed with the current US-China Trade War. It should also be noted that most, not all major earnings reports were received well by the market.
Looking ahead to next week, keep tabs on a few key releases. Monday kicks things off with the final October U.S. Manufacturing PMI from S&P Global and the ISM manufacturing index. Tuesday brings September’s trade numbers and factory orders, plus JOLTS job-openings data (potentially). Friday will round it out with both Consumer Sentiment & Consumer Credit. As always, respect your risk and stick to your trading plan. Godspeed.
