August Market Update: Rates, Rotations & Recession Risks

August Market Update 2024

The weaker than expected CPI report released early in the month bolstered investor confidence for rate cuts in September. This favorable data combined with slowing economic growth and higher unemployment, led to a sharp drop in yields and a big rotation trade among stock market performers. In fact, small cap stocks experienced their largest single day of outperformance in over 40 years. With markets adjusting to recent data and recession fears increasing, markets are becoming more volatile.
