Spooky Season has come to an end, and while it may have been a little scary, the market made it through without any significant changes. Let’s break it all down with Brett Witkowski.

Looking at the S&P 500, we’ve experienced a period of correction and sideways movement over the past two months. Despite the uncertainty, the market managed to stay above its 50-day moving average overall.

So, what made this spooky season so unsettling? Diesel prices experienced a sharp spike, reaching an all-time high per gallon. The good news is that prices are beginning to cool, and according to The Wall Street Journal, more oil is flowing out of the Persian Gulf than before the Iran war.

Interest rates are also starting to ease. While rates remain elevated, the trend is moving in a more favorable direction, potentially setting the stage for a stronger performance as we move into earnings season.
