They say October is a month known for turnarounds, and while this October wasn’t particularly volatile, the market sure did stage a reversal. It may seem like eons ago, but heading into October, new highs for the market seemed like the last thing we would see. The trade war was still a major worry, and the ISM Manufacturing report dropped to its lowest level since 2009. Earnings season was also coming up on the horizon, and practically nobody was expecting anything even remotely positive in what corporate America had to say about the just-completed third quarter or its outlook for the rest of the year. So, what happened? Naturally, all of that negative sentiment seems to be just what the market needed to break out of its torturous range that’s been in place since early 2018.
Will the breakout in US equities continue? That’s the question facing investors heading into the first weekend of November, and in this week’s Bespoke Report we cover the market from a variety of different angles to shed some light on that question. Topics discussed include the performance of semiconductors, earnings season, the FOMC, sentiment, seasonal trends, and market internals. So, grab some coffee and a chair and read on for our latest take.

The S&P 500 has been a bit top-heavy this month with the largest stocks in the index driving all of its October gains. We’ve seen interest rates start to push higher finally, which has helped Financials. The homebuilders have also extended gains even though mortgage rates have stopped going down. We’d be careful getting long the builders here given how overbought they’ve gotten. We cover everything else you need to know related to trends in financial markets in our weekly Bespoke Report.

Stocks bounced big late in the week after the details of the Employment Situation Report helped a bid in equities that started Thursday. Big drops in equity markets in response to ISM numbers early in the week were mostly clawed back. So which should matter more, the soft ISM surveys or the hard data on jobs? We give a definitive answer, as well as discussing a range of other economic and market details.
