Charts & Chat - September 8, 2024

Eric Boyce • September 8, 2024

This week, CEO Eric Boyce, CFA discusses:

1. Third quarter GDP growth looking like 2% annualized

2. Leading indicators have troughed; however, beige book and other indicators suggest slowing economy

3. Labor market continues to slow, as desired by the Fed; inflation and labor trends provide vast cover for interest rate declines this month

4. Service PMI still positive; manufacturing/construction back in decline



5. Yield curve un-inverted this week for the first time in 783 days

6. Stocks typically are weaker in September; also weaker in two months heading into Presidential election (usually get post election bounce tho)

7. increased volatility overall as of late - should create opportunity for small caps and equal weight S&P over time
