Stocks Rebound Higher as Deflator Report Supports Fed Rate-Cut Expectations
The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Friday rose +1.14%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) rose +1.58%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) rose +1.03%.
US stocks Friday rebounded higher on some bargain hunting after the rout seen on Wednesday and Thursday. Stocks also saw support from Friday’s US PCE deflator report, which was largely in line with dovish market expectations and supported the thesis for a Fed rate cut in September.
The Russell 2000 index on Friday rallied by +1.67%, besting the +1.14% rise in the S&P 500 index, as small-cap stocks extended this week’s rally.  The Russell 2000 rose by +3.35% on the week, much better than the comparable -0.95% performance of the S&P 500 index. There was some rotation into small-cap stocks after the mega-cap tech stocks and chip stocks took a heavy hit this week and weighed down the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index.
