Blog – Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for March 31, 2023
Summary:
Stocks rallied on Wall Street and closed out a winning March despite a long list of worries for investors.
The S&P 500 gained 1.4% Friday and rose 3.5% for the month, with tech stocks leading the way. The index also notched its second winning quarter in a row after tumbling through most of last year on worries about high interest rates.
Friday’s gains came after a report showed inflation slowed in February, though it was still high on a historical basis. A slowdown in inflation could give the Federal Reserve more leeway to take it easier on interest rates.
On Friday:
The S&P 500 rose 58.48 points, or 1.4%, to 4,109.31.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 415.12 points, or 1.3%, to 33,274.15.
The Nasdaq composite rose 208.44 points, or 1.7% to 12,221.91.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 34.10 points, or 1.9%, to 1,802.48.
For the week:
The S&P 500 is up 138.32 points, or 3.5%.

What is up with the Stock Market for WE - March 24, 2023.pptx
Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending March 24, 2023
Summary:
The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) Friday closed up +0.56%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up +0.41%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up +0.30%.
Stock indexes Friday recovered from early losses and closed moderately higher. An unscheduled Friday meeting of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), convened by Treasury Secretary Yellen, sparked short covering in bank stock. The FSOC issued a statement late Friday afternoon that said “the U.S. banking system remains sound and resilient despite the fact that some institutions are under stress.” Members of the FSOC include the heads of the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, and several other regulatory agencies.
Bank stocks Friday initially opened lower and weighed on the broader market on continued concern about the banking sector's stability. Treasury Secretary Yellen on Wednesday alarmed the market when she said the U.S. government is not considering a “blanket” protection of deposits. Ms. Yellen on Thursday had little success in damage control when she said that the government is prepared for further steps to protect bank deposits if needed.

Blog – Stock Market Analysis for the week-ending April 7, 2023
Summary:
Dow Jones futures will reopen Sunday evening. Futures rose slightly Friday while Treasury yields jumped after the March jobs report showed slowing hiring and wage growth but also declining unemployment. Meanwhile, Tesla (TSLA) cut U.S. prices on all its electric vehicles.
U.S. stock markets were closed Friday. The major indexes held up well in a holiday-shortened trading week, with midweek pullbacks looking healthy and normal. But many sectors and leading stocks sold off hard, including Tesla stock.
Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) broke out Thursday. China e-commerce giant Alibaba (BABA) flashed an aggressive entry.
The video embedded in this article discusses the weekly market action and analyzed Google, BABA stock and Intuitive Surgical (ISRG).
Jobs Report
The Labor Department reported that nonfarm payrolls rose by 236,000, just below estimates for 240,000. That's down from February's revised 326,000.
Private payrolls rose just 189,000, well below views for 223,000. Manufacturing jobs unexpectedly dipped 1,000.
The jobless rate also surprised, dipping to 3.5%, back to long-term lows. However, the labor force participation rate climbed to a post-Covid high 62.6%.
Hourly earnings rose 0.3% vs. February, in line. The annual gain cooled to 4.2%, below views for 4.3% and the lowest in years. The three-month annualized wage gain slowed to 3.2%.
The average workweek unexpectedly shortened, to 34.4 hours.
Despite the slower wage gains and private hiring, the odds of a Fed rate hike in May jumped to 67% Thursday from 49% on Wednesday.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE August 18 2023.pptx
Summary:
US stocks recovered from steep early losses in Friday's session but ended the week with sharp drops as an August swoon continued for Wall Street.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) finished slightly above the flatline, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell slightly on the other side of it. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) was down a modest 0.2% lower after three consecutive days of sharp losses.
For the week, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each saw losses of around 2%.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) fell slightly Friday to around 4.25% but remained near recent highs.
The moves come as investors consider the prospect that interest rates could remain higher for longer after Federal Reserve minutes this week showed the central bank wouldn't rule out further hikes. The next clue on the Fed's next move will come from Chair Jay Powell, who is set to give a speech next Friday at the annual Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium.

Blog – Analysis of the Stock Market for WE August 11, 2023
Summary:
Stocks ended the session mixed on Friday as investors reacted to a report showing wholesale prices rose more than expected in July.
The Nasdaq fell 0.7% while the S&P 500 slipped 0.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid at the open but recovered to close up about 0.3%. The Dow was the only index to post gains for the week, rising 0.6%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both lost ground for the second week in a row, falling 0.3% and 1.9%, respectively.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 0.3% last month after increasing 0.1% in June. Economists had expected wholesale inflation to rise, but only to 0.2%. Core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also climbed 0.3%, up from 0.1% in June. The data comes a day after the Consumer Price Index rose 0.2% for the second straight month, a rate nearly consistent with the Fed's 2% inflation target

Blog - Global Mining, Forestry, Agriculture, Oil and Natural Gas Analysis and Commentary – April 2023
Summary:
• Although last month's banking stress has moved to the rearview mirror, commodity markets remain concerned about the economic outlook. This helps explain why precious metals prices have soared, with gold recently topping the US$2,000-mark and silver gaining nearly 30% since SVB’s collapse.
• Fears over recession and potential knock-on effects on global oil demand pushed OPEC+ to curtail production. Although benchmark crude oil prices have rebounded to pre-SVB levels, the cartel may need to implement more cuts if the slowdown proves to be deeper than expected.
• Some key agricultural prices have also eased (e.g., hogs, wheat, canola), albeit mildly, which may help take some heat off global food inflation.
• Despite the banking sector turmoil, BMO Economics has maintained its projection for global growth at 2.5% for 2023 and 3.0% for 2024 thanks in large part to the resilience of the labour market

Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending August 4, 2023
Summary:
Stocks flipped into the red Friday afternoon after looking set to rebound earlier in the session, putting the cap on a rough first few days in August as the jobs report's release took center stage and an earnings-heavy calendar continued.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) finished down 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell 0.4%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) slipped by 0.4% after gaining as much as 1% earlier in the session.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were both down more than 2% to end the first week of August trading.
The July jobs report showed continued cooling in the labor market, as nonfarm payrolls rose by 187,000 last month while the unemployment rate dipped slightly to 3.5%. The numbers will serve as a key indicator for the Fed as it determines whether to halt its interest rate hiking campaign next month.
Elsewhere, Amazon (AMZN) stock was buzzing Friday, finishing more than 8% after earnings beat all around, combined with rosy guidance for the near term. Apple (AAPL), by contrast, was down almost 5% after the iPhone maker reported sluggish sales of that flagship product and a third straight quarter of declining revenue overall.

Blog – Stock Market Analysis for the week-ending July 21, 2023
• US stocks traded mixed Friday, with the Dow capping off a 10-day winning streak.
• It's the longest run of gains for the index since August 2017.
• Next week investors will be watching big earnings from Microsoft and Meta, as well as a Fed meeting.
US stocks traded mixed on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average eking out a gain to cap off a 10-day winning streak, its longest stretch in the green since August 2017.
To close the week, American Express, oil firm Schlumberger, and advertising company Interpublic Group all reported earnings. More than 70% of the companies that have reported so far have beat expectations, according to FactSet data.
Meanwhile, investors will be watching to see what policymakers announce at next week's Federal Reserve meeting. Many strategists expect a 0.25% interest rate hike, following last month's "skip."
A quarter-point hike to the 5.25%-5.50% range would "more than likely mark the end of a historic tightening cycle," EY Chief Economist Gregory Daco wrote in a note Friday. "But those expecting a fanfare will be disappointed as the Fed will make every (too many) efforts to sound as hawkish as tolerable for financial markets, to avoid an undesired easing of financial conditions."

Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending August 25 2023
Summary:
U.S. stocks rebounded from early losses Friday to finish in the green after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank is keeping its options open for more interest rate hikes this year.
The Nasdaq led stocks higher, gaining 0.9% to finish the week up 2.2%. The S&P 500 gained 0.7%, finishing 0.8% higher for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose 0.7%, but fell 0.4% over the week.
Powell, speaking on day two of the Kansas City Fed's annual Jackson Hole symposium, said that while inflation had fallen from its peak, "it remains too high." He added, "We are prepared to raise rates further if appropriate, and intend to hold policy at a restrictive level until we are confident that inflation is moving sustainably down toward our objective."
European stocks gave up gains in the afternoon but still finished slightly higher. Asian equities fell, with the Japanese Nikkei Index tumbling more than 2%.
Stocks sank yesterday despite another quarter of better-than-expected earnings from Nvidia (NVDA). The Nasdaq fell 1.9%, erasing Wednesday's big gains, while the S&P 500 lost 1.4% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.1%.
Dow Rallies Following Powell Remarks
17 hr 18 min ago
After falling early in the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied to finish higher by 0.7%, or about 247 points, as investors shook off the remarks of Fed Chair Jerome Powell that indicated interest rates could remain high.
For the week, the index ended down about 0.4%, the Dow’s second straight weekly decline.
Boeing (BA) rose 2.8% to recover some of yesterday’s losses on reports it would need to delay deliveries of some 737 Max jets.
Salesforce (CRM) moved up 2% after filings showed it is one of several big tech companies, including Nvidia (NVDA) backing artificial intelligence startup Hugging Face. Other tech stocks helped fuel the index’s rally, including Intel (INTC), which also jumped 2%, and Apple (AAPL), up 1.3%.
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) shares gained 1.4%, making up for some losses earlier in the week following its share swap with spin-off Kenvue.
Nike (NKE) shares gained 1.2%, breaking an 11-day losing streak—the longest in the company’s history.
Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) dipped 0.2%, making it the worst performer of the Dow 30 stocks during a session in which only five components fell. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Amgen (AMGN) both slipped 0.1%.

What is up with the Stock Market for WE - April 28 2023.pptx
Blog – Stock Market Analysis for the Weekend April 28 2023
• Stocks close higher to end the week – The U.S. and Canadian equity markets closed sharply higher on Friday. This comes even as Amazon warned about cooling growth in its cloud-computing business. In addition, investors are monitoring the fate of First Republic Bank, which was down about 49% on the day and over 95% for the week*. The bank is seeking strategic alternatives and will likely require support from the government or larger banks for it to remain solvent. Nonetheless, the S&P 500 is headed towards a positive week and month, in part driven by better-than-expected earnings results for the first quarter. Meanwhile volatility remains subdued, with the VIX volatility index down over 25% this year*.
• Inflation data continues to trend lower – The PCE inflation data in the U.S. for the month of March continued to move lower, both on a headline and core basis. Headline PCE inflation came in at 4.2% year-over-year, below last month's 5.1% reading, although slightly above consensus expectations of 4.1%. This is the ninth consecutive lower reading in PCE inflation since it peaked at 7.0% in June 2022. Core inflation also ticked lower, coming in at 4.6%, slightly below last month's 4.7% reading, but above expectations of 4.5%*. Overall, while the direction of travel has been positive, inflation remains elevated versus the Fed's 2.0% target. Given this is the Fed's last look at inflation ahead of their May 2-3 meeting, we believe this will keep the Federal Reserve on track for a 0.25% rate hike next week, bringing the fed funds rate to around 5.25%. This, however, may be the final rate hike before the Fed takes an extended pause to assess both the economy and inflation.
• Earnings season rolls on – We are now about 53% of the way through first-quarter earnings season for S&P 500 companies. Of the companies that have reported, about 80% have delivered a positive surprise, above the historical trend of 73%. Earnings overall are on pace for about a -3.7% year-over-year growth rate, above the expected -7.0% growth that had been expected at the start of the year*. This week we have seen strong earnings reports from several notable mega-cap technology companies, including Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon. While the bar had been set high heading into earnings season because growth sectors have outperformed the broader S&P 500, these companies continue to deliver solid results and, in many cases, return value to shareholders through stock-repurchase programs. We have seen better-than-expected results across sectors as well, most notably in consumer staples, energy and materials, which have supported positive market performance year-to-date.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE July 28 2023.pptx
Summary:
Stocks ended higher over a week notable for the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s notching its 13th consecutive daily gain on Wednesday, which marked its longest winning streak since 1987. However, T. Rowe Price traders noted that trading was relatively subdued, as the summer vacation season diverted some of the focus on a slew of important data releases, a Federal Reserve (Fed) policy meeting, and some high-profile corporate earnings reports. Growth stocks handily outpaced their value counterparts, and the gains were led by the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite.
Sentiment appeared to get a boost from a series of generally positive economic readings, particularly on inflation. Stocks opened sharply higher on Friday, following news that the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the core (less food and energy) personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index had risen 0.2% in June, down from 0.3% in May, making for a year-over-year increase of 4.1%, a tick lower than expectations and the slowest increase since September 2021. In addition, the employment cost index—closely watched because of policymakers’ continued concern about wage inflation—rose 1.0% in the second quarter, also below consensus and the smallest increase in two years.

Dawn of a new era for Small-to Medium Size Public and Private Sectors Entities
Summary:
The pandemic has hammered small to medium-size businesses due to restrictions impose on their operations. More and more small businesses will move to digital model as part of managing their customers and supply chain.
Automation, data and AI, and security will be key areas of focus for small medium businesses as they grow their business but also mitigate against geopolitical threats.
ESG reporting will also become a requirement as consumers will want to know the ESG footprint for a small business as part of making their buying decisions.

What is up with Stock Marklet| December 10, 2021
Summary:
The S&P 500 Index recorded its best weekly gain since February, as fears seemed to abate about the new omicron variant of the coronavirus. Most of the benchmarks moved near their record highs, and the S&P Midcap 400 Index reached a new peak on Friday. Information technology stocks drove much of the rally, as solid gains in Apple pushed the market capitalization of the world’s most highly valued public company near USD 3 trillion. Shares of financial firms and utilities lagged but still recorded gains.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE August 18 2023.pptx
Summary:
US stocks recovered from steep early losses in Friday's session but ended the week with sharp drops as an August swoon continued for Wall Street.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) finished slightly above the flatline, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell slightly on the other side of it. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) was down a modest 0.2% lower after three consecutive days of sharp losses.
For the week, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each saw losses of around 2%.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) fell slightly Friday to around 4.25% but remained near recent highs.
The moves come as investors consider the prospect that interest rates could remain higher for longer after Federal Reserve minutes this week showed the central bank wouldn't rule out further hikes. The next clue on the Fed's next move will come from Chair Jay Powell, who is set to give a speech next Friday at the annual Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium.

Summary:
Stocks ended the session mixed on Friday as investors reacted to a report showing wholesale prices rose more than expected in July.
The Nasdaq fell 0.7% while the S&P 500 slipped 0.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid at the open but recovered to close up about 0.3%. The Dow was the only index to post gains for the week, rising 0.6%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both lost ground for the second week in a row, falling 0.3% and 1.9%, respectively.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 0.3% last month after increasing 0.1% in June. Economists had expected wholesale inflation to rise, but only to 0.2%. Core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also climbed 0.3%, up from 0.1% in June. The data comes a day after the Consumer Price Index rose 0.2% for the second straight month, a rate nearly consistent with the Fed's 2% inflation target

Blog - Global Mining, Forestry, Agriculture, Oil and Natural Gas Analysis and Commentary – April 2023
Summary:
• Although last month's banking stress has moved to the rearview mirror, commodity markets remain concerned about the economic outlook. This helps explain why precious metals prices have soared, with gold recently topping the US$2,000-mark and silver gaining nearly 30% since SVB’s collapse.
• Fears over recession and potential knock-on effects on global oil demand pushed OPEC+ to curtail production. Although benchmark crude oil prices have rebounded to pre-SVB levels, the cartel may need to implement more cuts if the slowdown proves to be deeper than expected.
• Some key agricultural prices have also eased (e.g., hogs, wheat, canola), albeit mildly, which may help take some heat off global food inflation.
• Despite the banking sector turmoil, BMO Economics has maintained its projection for global growth at 2.5% for 2023 and 3.0% for 2024 thanks in large part to the resilience of the labour market

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE August 4 2023.pptx
Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending August 4, 2023
Summary:
Stocks flipped into the red Friday afternoon after looking set to rebound earlier in the session, putting the cap on a rough first few days in August as the jobs report's release took center stage and an earnings-heavy calendar continued.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) finished down 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell 0.4%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) slipped by 0.4% after gaining as much as 1% earlier in the session.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were both down more than 2% to end the first week of August trading.
The July jobs report showed continued cooling in the labor market, as nonfarm payrolls rose by 187,000 last month while the unemployment rate dipped slightly to 3.5%. The numbers will serve as a key indicator for the Fed as it determines whether to halt its interest rate hiking campaign next month.
Elsewhere, Amazon (AMZN) stock was buzzing Friday, finishing more than 8% after earnings beat all around, combined with rosy guidance for the near term. Apple (AAPL), by contrast, was down almost 5% after the iPhone maker reported sluggish sales of that flagship product and a third straight quarter of declining revenue overall.

Blog – Stock Market Analysis for the week-ending July 21, 2023
• US stocks traded mixed Friday, with the Dow capping off a 10-day winning streak.
• It's the longest run of gains for the index since August 2017.
• Next week investors will be watching big earnings from Microsoft and Meta, as well as a Fed meeting.
US stocks traded mixed on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average eking out a gain to cap off a 10-day winning streak, its longest stretch in the green since August 2017.
To close the week, American Express, oil firm Schlumberger, and advertising company Interpublic Group all reported earnings. More than 70% of the companies that have reported so far have beat expectations, according to FactSet data.
Meanwhile, investors will be watching to see what policymakers announce at next week's Federal Reserve meeting. Many strategists expect a 0.25% interest rate hike, following last month's "skip."
A quarter-point hike to the 5.25%-5.50% range would "more than likely mark the end of a historic tightening cycle," EY Chief Economist Gregory Daco wrote in a note Friday. "But those expecting a fanfare will be disappointed as the Fed will make every (too many) efforts to sound as hawkish as tolerable for financial markets, to avoid an undesired easing of financial conditions."

Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending August 25 2023
Summary:
U.S. stocks rebounded from early losses Friday to finish in the green after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank is keeping its options open for more interest rate hikes this year.
The Nasdaq led stocks higher, gaining 0.9% to finish the week up 2.2%. The S&P 500 gained 0.7%, finishing 0.8% higher for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose 0.7%, but fell 0.4% over the week.
Powell, speaking on day two of the Kansas City Fed's annual Jackson Hole symposium, said that while inflation had fallen from its peak, "it remains too high." He added, "We are prepared to raise rates further if appropriate, and intend to hold policy at a restrictive level until we are confident that inflation is moving sustainably down toward our objective."
European stocks gave up gains in the afternoon but still finished slightly higher. Asian equities fell, with the Japanese Nikkei Index tumbling more than 2%.
Stocks sank yesterday despite another quarter of better-than-expected earnings from Nvidia (NVDA). The Nasdaq fell 1.9%, erasing Wednesday's big gains, while the S&P 500 lost 1.4% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.1%.
Dow Rallies Following Powell Remarks
17 hr 18 min ago
After falling early in the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied to finish higher by 0.7%, or about 247 points, as investors shook off the remarks of Fed Chair Jerome Powell that indicated interest rates could remain high.
For the week, the index ended down about 0.4%, the Dow’s second straight weekly decline.
Boeing (BA) rose 2.8% to recover some of yesterday’s losses on reports it would need to delay deliveries of some 737 Max jets.
Salesforce (CRM) moved up 2% after filings showed it is one of several big tech companies, including Nvidia (NVDA) backing artificial intelligence startup Hugging Face. Other tech stocks helped fuel the index’s rally, including Intel (INTC), which also jumped 2%, and Apple (AAPL), up 1.3%.
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) shares gained 1.4%, making up for some losses earlier in the week following its share swap with spin-off Kenvue.
Nike (NKE) shares gained 1.2%, breaking an 11-day losing streak—the longest in the company’s history.
Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) dipped 0.2%, making it the worst performer of the Dow 30 stocks during a session in which only five components fell. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Amgen (AMGN) both slipped 0.1%.

What is up with the Stock Market for WE - April 28 2023.pptx
Blog – Stock Market Analysis for the Weekend April 28 2023
• Stocks close higher to end the week – The U.S. and Canadian equity markets closed sharply higher on Friday. This comes even as Amazon warned about cooling growth in its cloud-computing business. In addition, investors are monitoring the fate of First Republic Bank, which was down about 49% on the day and over 95% for the week*. The bank is seeking strategic alternatives and will likely require support from the government or larger banks for it to remain solvent. Nonetheless, the S&P 500 is headed towards a positive week and month, in part driven by better-than-expected earnings results for the first quarter. Meanwhile volatility remains subdued, with the VIX volatility index down over 25% this year*.
• Inflation data continues to trend lower – The PCE inflation data in the U.S. for the month of March continued to move lower, both on a headline and core basis. Headline PCE inflation came in at 4.2% year-over-year, below last month's 5.1% reading, although slightly above consensus expectations of 4.1%. This is the ninth consecutive lower reading in PCE inflation since it peaked at 7.0% in June 2022. Core inflation also ticked lower, coming in at 4.6%, slightly below last month's 4.7% reading, but above expectations of 4.5%*. Overall, while the direction of travel has been positive, inflation remains elevated versus the Fed's 2.0% target. Given this is the Fed's last look at inflation ahead of their May 2-3 meeting, we believe this will keep the Federal Reserve on track for a 0.25% rate hike next week, bringing the fed funds rate to around 5.25%. This, however, may be the final rate hike before the Fed takes an extended pause to assess both the economy and inflation.
• Earnings season rolls on – We are now about 53% of the way through first-quarter earnings season for S&P 500 companies. Of the companies that have reported, about 80% have delivered a positive surprise, above the historical trend of 73%. Earnings overall are on pace for about a -3.7% year-over-year growth rate, above the expected -7.0% growth that had been expected at the start of the year*. This week we have seen strong earnings reports from several notable mega-cap technology companies, including Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon. While the bar had been set high heading into earnings season because growth sectors have outperformed the broader S&P 500, these companies continue to deliver solid results and, in many cases, return value to shareholders through stock-repurchase programs. We have seen better-than-expected results across sectors as well, most notably in consumer staples, energy and materials, which have supported positive market performance year-to-date.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE July 28 2023.pptx
Summary:
Stocks ended higher over a week notable for the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s notching its 13th consecutive daily gain on Wednesday, which marked its longest winning streak since 1987. However, T. Rowe Price traders noted that trading was relatively subdued, as the summer vacation season diverted some of the focus on a slew of important data releases, a Federal Reserve (Fed) policy meeting, and some high-profile corporate earnings reports. Growth stocks handily outpaced their value counterparts, and the gains were led by the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite.
Sentiment appeared to get a boost from a series of generally positive economic readings, particularly on inflation. Stocks opened sharply higher on Friday, following news that the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the core (less food and energy) personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index had risen 0.2% in June, down from 0.3% in May, making for a year-over-year increase of 4.1%, a tick lower than expectations and the slowest increase since September 2021. In addition, the employment cost index—closely watched because of policymakers’ continued concern about wage inflation—rose 1.0% in the second quarter, also below consensus and the smallest increase in two years.

What is up with Stock Marklet| December 10, 2021
Summary:
The S&P 500 Index recorded its best weekly gain since February, as fears seemed to abate about the new omicron variant of the coronavirus. Most of the benchmarks moved near their record highs, and the S&P Midcap 400 Index reached a new peak on Friday. Information technology stocks drove much of the rally, as solid gains in Apple pushed the market capitalization of the world’s most highly valued public company near USD 3 trillion. Shares of financial firms and utilities lagged but still recorded gains.
