September ended with significant losses. Then there were a lot of significant ups and downs in October, which finally ended at or near record highs. Perhaps the reason is that Americans were very focused on what was happening in the US. The economy is still weak, but compared to the rest of the world, is showing the most stability. The Federal Reserve Board has stopped the Quantitative Easing program, but keeping interest rates at record lows. The midterm election hype could not be avoided. No one was safe from all the local and statewide election ads, and the conjecturing on whether or not Republicans will become the majority party in the US Senate. Other than the Ebola crisis and the concern that it might come to the US, there just was not time for the normal news coverage in the more volatile parts of the world. Another factor was the dramatic drop in oil prices. Was this real or fabricated? At any rate, it surely helped consumers feel a little better and maybe optimistic. Now that the election has passed the big question for November is if the stock market will show the typical end of the year growth, or will international situations put us through another roller coaster session?
