The stock market has delivered a stellar performance so far in 2024, touching new all-time highs again last week. If it holds onto current gains through year-end, this would be the second straight calendar year with a return above 20%, a somewhat rare feat. In our latest Weekly Market Wrap, we take a look at similar strong periods in the past, and what current conditions signal about the potential for another win in 2025.

Two years ago, on October 12, 2022, inflation was above 7% in Canada and the U.S., central banks were in the midst of a historically aggressive rate hiking-campaign, and the S&P 500 had dropped 25% off its high. However, widespread pessimism at the time gave way to a new bull market, which continues to this day. Since then, stocks have gained 35% in Canada and 60% in the U.S., and the S&P 500 has reached 45 new record highs. As we mark the two-year anniversary of the bull market, we assess how the economic and market environment has evolved and explore what might come next.

Some weeks are more consequential than others in shaping the market narrative, and last week was one of them. The Federal Reserve delivered on what markets have been hoping for and anxiously anticipating over the past two years. Interest rates were cut by a larger-than-typical 0.5%, signaling a critical turning point in the monetary policy cycle. We offer five key takes on what last week's announcement means for the economy and markets.

Investors focused in on inflation data last week, with markets continuing to filter the balance of consumer price trends and economic readings through the lens of what it means for Fed interest rate moves ahead. Recent developments have produced flashes of market volatility lately, but this isn't necessarily the full image. In our latest Weekly Market Wrap, we zoom in on key items that were in the frame last week, and then zoom out for a better view of the bigger picture for the markets.

After the soft jobs report, markets continued their risk-off positioning that began in the seasonally volatile month of September. In our view, the slowing labour market certainly adds risk to the economic outlook, but the figures thus far don't point to an imminent recession.

In this backdrop, we recommend leaning into market weakness and consider re-balancing portfolios, diversifying, or adding quality investments at better prices, especially as we believe economic growth could reaccelerate in the 12 to 18 months ahead.

Markets over the past week continued to recover from the previous week's sharp pullback. In our view, the backdrop of softer inflation and cooling but positive economic growth still points to a Fed that will likely begin cutting rates as soon as the September 18 FOMC meeting.

For any investors that were looking the 2024 gift horse in the mouth, last week showed some teeth. We don't think the recent pullback should be patently dismissed, but panic is not the proper reaction either. Our latest Weekly Market Wrap covers four key things to keep in mind.
