How Q3 GDP Keeps The Fed Stuck Between A Rock And A Hard Place
Major stock market indices have rebounded in October as investors hope for a slowdown in the pace of Fed rate hikes. As of Friday, October 28, the S&P 500 had gained 8.8% over the month, and its year-to-date loss was cut to 18%, just slightly better than bear market levels. The Dow is now above correction territory with a 9.6% year-to-date decline, while the Nasdaq, consisting of hard-hit tech stocks, gained 5% in October to reach a year-to-date pullback of 29%. This occurred despite a jump in interest rates, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rising above 4%. What's driving market optimism, and how should long-term investors maintain perspective?
