S&P 500, DOW NAB ALL-TIME CLOSING HIGHS ON SOLID BANK EARNINGS, COOLING PPI
Wall Street capped an up-and-down week with a nice little rally as solid bank earnings gave investors a shot of confidence, while economic data cemented the likelihood of at least one additional rate cut from the Fed before year-end.
All three major U.S. stock indexes advanced on the day, with the S&P 500 .SPX and the Dow .DJI setting fresh record closing highs.
Including the Nasdaq .IXIC, all three posted gains for the week, as well. Their fifth consecutive weekly advances, in fact.
That marks the benchmark S&P 500's longest weekly winning streak since May.
JPMorgan Chase JPM.N and Wells Fargo WFC.N shifted third-quarter earnings season into 'drive' with their better-than-expected results. The banks ended the session up 4.4% and 5.6%, respectively.
That gave a boost to the banking sector .SPXBK, which advanced 4.2% on the day.
Among the session's other outperformers were industrials .SPLRCI, transports .DJT and small caps .RUT.
Consumer discretionary stocks .SPLRCD were rare losers, dragged down by a 8.8% plunge in Tesla shares TSLA.O after the electric automaker's robotaxi event failed to impress.
On the economic front, a report from the Labor Department showing that producer prices were unchanged in September, provided some assurance that inflation wasn't heating up again in the wake of Thursday's hotter-than-expected CPI print.
Friday's data did little to disabuse market expectations for a 25 basis point reduction to the Fed funds target rate at the conclusion of Powell & Co's next policy meeting in November.
Next week, investors have retail sales, industrial production, housing starts/building permits and homebuilder sentiment to look forward to, among other indicators.
High profile earnings on tap for next week include Bank of America BAC.N, Citigroup C.N, Goldman Sachs GS.N, Morgan Stanley MS.N, Netflix NFLX.O, along with a host of healthcare and industrial names.
The bond market will be closed on Monday for Columbus Day. The stock market won't be as lucky.
