Though September is the worst month in the stock market, so far the S&P 500 is up 0.33%, and Nasdaq is up 1.14%. The Q2 earnings season is over.

The Dow gained 1.02%. Weak labor market data, including a  911,000 downward revision   in jobs  from April 2024 to March 2025 was a big blow. The jobless claims reached 263,000 (highest since October 2021). Despite these bad data the stock market had a fantastic week fueled by rate-cut hopes.
