Market Commentary
October 2024
It’s been a nice summer for the markets. I can’t say that about the heat in Bakersfield, though!
After a small bump in August, the market picked right up. Now we are in the 4th quarter during an election year. We don’t have a crystal ball, but typically, the market will pull back before the election and then pick up after the election (once they know who won.) Doesn’t make a lot of sense, but that is usually how it goes. So, I don’t think you have to worry about it too much.
The chips and technology stocks seemed to have settled a bit; I think that is a good sign. And the Fed lowered rates as they feel maybe inflation is starting to cool. Hopefully that will continue! We look forward to the remainder of the year.
Please call if you have any questions or concerns.
