U.S. Performance Dashboard – October 2024

By | November 5th, 2024|General, Markets|

  • As U.S. equity markets brace themselves for employment numbers, the upcoming Presidential election, and a Fed rate decision, disappointing outlooks from Big Tech led to a retreat in mega-cap strength on the final trading day of October. The S&P 500® declined by 1% for the month, although large caps outpaced their small-cap peers.
  • On the back of strong earnings and disinversion of the yield curve, Financials led among large-cap sectors, up 3%, while Materials and Health Care lagged.
  • Momentum and Enhanced Value were the sole positive performers among our reported factor indices.
