Unify Financial Advisors Weekly Market Update
Last week, the stock market experienced notable swings influenced by economic data, particularly signs of a cooling labor market that raised expectations of a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 gained 0.33% for the week and closed at 6,481.50, just shy of Thursday’s record close. Big tech shares played a significant role in driving market performance. Additionally, the 10-year Treasury yield fell to its lowest level in five months, reflecting the weakening labor market and dovish rate outlook.
Weekly Outlook
Inflation data for August, including the Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index, will be closely monitored.
