Happy Friday, traders. The market climbed this week after a rough start in September. Wednesday, the market decline turned around by the afternoon after CPI data showed inflation, including volatile energy and food prices, grew at 2.5% yearly. It was the lowest increase in CPI-measured inflation since prices began to jump after the first year of the pandemic in 2021.
By the end of the week, the S&P 500 was within 50 points of an all-time high yet again, at nearly the exact same point value as where it began the month of September, 5,623.
Just past 4 pm ET the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ climbed 4% for the week, the $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ climbed 2.6%, and the $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ climbed 5.95%.
Friday, University of Michigan numbers showed consumers expect prices to inflate 2.7% in one year, higher than the most recent yearly CPI inflation numbers.
Last week, the number of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits rose slightly to 230,000, according to data from Thursday. There was no sign of widespread layoffs even as the job market cooled, and the numbers aligned with the yearly average. PPI data released Thursday also showed Producer prices climbed month over month, 0.3% Core and 0.2% normal, including energy and food. In the lead-up to next week's FOMC rate cut meeting, every indication of inflation is vital.
Wednesday, investors received inflation macro data. Consumer prices grew 2.5% year over year, the lowest CPI year-to-year growth from the Bureau of Labor Statistics since the beginning of the pandemic. It came in lower than Michigan Consumers Expected two days later.
Year-over-year Core CPI, which excludes energy and food, is unchanged from last month's 3.2%. Month over month, Core CPI climbed from 0.2% to 0.3%. Last week, investors also got word from New York Fed President John Williams Friday that it is time to cut rates. Investors are awaiting the next FOMC rate decision meeting on Wednesday, September 18th.
Anyway, let's dive into the buzzing stocks this week:
U.S. antitrust authorities have reportedly initiated an early-stage investigation into NVIDIA over its potential dominance in the artificial intelligence chip market.

Political uncertainty such as the upcoming elections and ongoing global tensions is causing instability in the economy. These factors create challenges for businesses and consumers, leading to cautious spending and investment. In response a small rate cut could make borrowing cheaper, encouraging spending and investment, which would help steady the economy. Because of this I am predicting a 25 basis points cut to support economic stability in these uncertain times.

Green Monster : Inflation is still stubborn.
102362254 : I think a 25 bps rate cut seems more likely than a 50 bps cut. Fed is likely to take a careful approach, aiming to control inflation without causing harm to the economy. While they want to bring inflation down, they also need to be mindful of keeping the economy growing at a healthy pace, which is why they may opt for a smaller rate cut?
HuatEver : The recent drop in the unemployment rate to 4.2% suggests a relatively strong labour market overall. However, the slowdown in wage growth and job creation points to underlying weaknesses, indicating that supportive monetary policy may be necessary to sustain momentum. Therefore, I’m predicting a 25 bps to help counter these trends.![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")

Shootingstar : election is coming I am surprised Kamala has not put turrets at the borders so I guess -100 to 200bps points for American citizens to love their leaders
mr_cashcow : Thanks again for the reward points, I predicts a 25 bps rate cut, the majority consensus and data all seems to point to a cut of around 25 bps and with election just around the corner I don't think they would make any surprise gotcha movements and just keep it within expectations![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")
HYGWE : 0.25% rate cut shows Fed doesn't think economy is tanking into recession while still concern about sticky inflation....more important to read their minutes
