10-7-24 Are Markets Preparing for a Pre-election Correction?

The Real Investment Show Podcast

The S&P rallied nicely Friday on a strong employment report, and surprisingly so; that eliminates the likelihood of a 50-bps rate cut in November. For us, if we're the Fed, and employment is that strong, we would cut rates at all. But that's just us. Markets rallied towards the top of the consolidation range. Today's opening looks to give up a chunk of Friday's gains, and as in previous consolidation patterns, it would appear markets are setting up for some type of corrective action within the next several weeks. (During election years, with the current set-up, markets typically get a correction before the election.) Markets typically rally about 4% during earnings season, but this time, markets have front-loaded the earnings season rally. Unless earnings are stellar and outlooks are strong, we could potentially see some choppiness and a correction to come. After the election, markets will position based on the winners, and prepare to rally into the end of the year.
