Better-than-expected earnings reports and hopes that the Fed could slow the pace of interest rate increases helped the S&P 500’s 4.7% gain last week.
U.S. stocks charted a volatile course for the week due to inflation concerns. The S&P 500 closed the week below its flatline, while the DJIA finished above.
U.S. stocks ended their three-week losing streak, although steep losses following the September jobs report wiped out most of the gains scored earlier.
ETFs focusing on volatility, futures strategies, silver, silver miners, and the U.S. dollar were the top performing ETFs in September 2022.
Excluding money market funds, Fidelity funds focusing on short-duration bonds (both taxable & tax-exempt) and gold were top performers in September.
