Key Economic and Market Insights

Stocks rebounded late in the week as traders looked past economic uncertainties and focused on corporate strength. The S&P 500 ended a two-day rout, led by gains in tech megacaps such as Amazon and Intel. US hiring data showed the slowest pace since 2020, distorted by hurricanes and strikes. The Federal Reserve meeting and the US presidential election are critical upcoming events. The S&P 500’s 20% rally in 2024 through October is the strongest in a presidential election year since 1936.
