This week’s Bespoke Report newsletter is now available for members.

We’re on pace for the best October on record for the Dow and the strongest month period for that index since the 1970s. But that masks two facts which should give bulls little comfort: rallies are more violent during bear markets and there is no sign the Federal Reserve is ready to call it quits on its tightening cycle. We take a look at earnings, which are deteriorating versus recent earnings seasons including both lower beat rates and more guidance cuts, and the global backdrop including soaring policy rates that have yet to be felt fully by economies around the world. We also review a very busy US economic data week in detail, covering everything from wage growth to manufacturing activity to savings rates. We cover all that and much more in this week’s Bespoke Report.
