Weekly Market Update – 1.29.2024

Last week, Netflix reported better-than-expected revenue and added 13.1 million users in the fourth quarter of 2023, surpassing expectations by over 50%. Their initiative to crack down on password sharing helped drive user growth. Conversely, Tesla’s earnings report disappointed investors, leading to a 12% drop in its stock value on Thursday.

A factor in the lower 3.7% unemployment rate and the creation of 216K new jobs in November was increased hiring in the government sector, which may not continue.

Weekly Market Update – 1.2.2024

Last week, US stock markets posted gains for the ninth consecutive week, capping off an impressive year for stocks and bonds. The S&P 500 finished the year up 26.29%, just shy of its January 2022 record. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 16.18%, topping 37000 for the first time. Bond markets reversed their losses going into October and finished the year up 5.53%. The 2023 stock and bond returns defied the doom and gloom many anticipated at the beginning of the year.
