Another green market week finishing on strong bank earnings


๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ Energy volatility. #GlobalTension in the Middle East has crude oil prices rising since the beginning of the month. We saw a little reprieve as China’s stimulus plans came in skimpy, but quickly rebounded back.

๐Ÿ’ธ Mixed inflation. September #Inflation caught forecasters off-guard. Both the overall and core CPI topped expectations. However, the PPI was in-line. It had limited market impact though with the Fed and investors already shifting focus away to #LaborMarkets.

๐Ÿฆ Bank earnings. Markets finished the week powered by a Financials surge driven by better than feared earnings from early bank reporters like JP Morgan and Wells Fargo. The S&P 500 finished another week green๏ผup 1.1%.
