Despite this, the S&P 500 still gained 2.3%, powered by strong earnings and economic growth. However, market participation narrowed, with growth stocks leading while small-caps and mid-caps fell sharply. Our latest Market Commentary looks at whether growth and earnings can keep the rally going.

Markets shook off inflation concerns, geopolitical conflict, and a hawkish tone from the Fed to notch new records in August. The S&P 500 and Dow both hit all-time highs, fueled by a rebound in mega-cap tech, while emerging markets and international developed equities led the gains. Our latest Market Commentary asks the question on everyone's mind: can new highs, higher yields, and a weaker dollar all persist together?
