The Big Bump | November 11th, 2024
Last week, the stock market saw its strongest rally in over a year, driven by the election results, solid corporate earnings, and a Fed rate cut. The S&P 500 surged 4.7% to its 50th record high of 2024, while the Russell 2000 and Nasdaq also posted substantial gains, with the VIX dropping 31% for its steepest weekly decline since 2021. Former President Trump's electoral victory, along with a GOP win in the Senate, fueled optimism about potential tax cuts and deregulation, benefiting Small Caps, Financials, and energy services stocks. Additionally, China announced a $1.4 trillion plan to support local government debt, which could become increasingly important as we enter 2025.
