The markets are starting the week on mixed footing. The Dow is down a bit, while the S&P 500 and NASDAQ are holding slightly higher. But what’s really important is what’s coming up this week — and what it could mean for your money.
🚨 The Big Week Ahead
Friday’s jobs report is scheduled for release… but will the government even be open?
Washington gridlock continues, as President Trump and Congressional leaders try to strike a deal on a short-term spending bill.
If the report is delayed, markets could stay choppy until clarity arrives.
📊 Quarter-End Check-In
Q3 wrapped up stronger than expected.
September — usually the weakest month of the year — wasn’t too bad this time around.
Now, we roll into October. Historically neutral overall, but it’s the month that carries the baggage of past crashes.
This year? No signs of that.
🚀 Looking Toward Q4
If interest rates ease and earnings season delivers, markets could be set up for a year-end rally.
That means opportunity for investors who are positioned correctly.
⚾ A Personal Note
Baseball playoffs kick off tomorrow, and here at Market Capital Management, we only have two words: Go Padres!
