Year To Date Performances:

1. September’s strong U.S. jobs report, with 254,000 new payrolls, boosts confidence in a potential "soft landing" for the economy, reducing concerns about a recession. The Federal Reserve may slow the pace of future rate cuts, thanks to strong employment data and stabilizing inflation. However, sectors like food services and government drove much of the job growth, raising concerns about sustainability. Analysts expect the Fed to take a moderate approach during its next meeting as it assesses the economy’s trajectory.

2. The U.S. ports strike has been suspended following a tentative agreement between the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the U.S. Maritime Alliance (USMX) on wage increases. However, the major issue of port automation remains unresolved, with a deadline set for January 15, 2025, just 103 days away. Union leaders strongly oppose automation, calling it a threat to jobs, while port owners seek to modernize operations. This contentious point could trigger further disruptions if not settled within the limited timeframe.
