Central banks around the world have not relented, but the market has already changed: the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in June next year, and by 100 basis points throughout the year
Bond investors and interest rate traders are increasingly betting that interest rate cuts by the world's major central banks will begin before the summer, challenging policymakers' claims that interest rates will remain “higher and longer” for the foreseeable future. The market is now fully priced, and the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates for the first time in June next year, and will cut interest rates by nearly 100 basis points by the end of 2024.
Did the US stock market attack begin at the end of the year? Learn from history: November is one of the best months in history
According to data from LPL Financial, since 1950, November was the month with the highest average return on the stock market, while November to December was the two months with the highest average return. The strategist said that three months of continuous selling pressure may exhaust the US stock bears, causing the stock to approach the oversold level. There is another more well-founded explanation for the rise in the stock market at the end of the year: a “quirk” in the mutual funds tax law. Specifically, mutual funds must harvest their annual tax losses by October 31, three months before the closing date for individual investors. Tax loss harvesting is a transactional strategy that reduces tax liability.
US stock quarterly profit analysis: Q3 earnings are expected to record the first increase in a year
Earnings for America's largest companies are expected to collectively grow for the first time in a year, partly benefiting from strong consumer spending this summer.

Revenue is expected to grow 2.3% year over year.
BlackRock: The impact of high interest rates has not yet reached the stock market; any rebound before the end of the year will be short-lived
US Treasury yields have climbed to multi-year highs. Despite recent pullbacks, they are still at a high level. Investors are gradually digesting the view that the Fed will tighten monetary policy over a longer period of time. However, history shows that under such circumstances, US stocks are often negatively correlated with US bond prices, and US bond prices are also negatively correlated with yields. Jean Boivin, head of the research department at asset management giant BlackRock, said that any rebound in the stock market before the end of the year is likely to be short-lived because the stock market does not fully reflect the prospects that interest rates will remain high for a long time.
