Amid the ongoing government shutdown, we look at alternate sources of data to draw a picture of what's happening with inflation, the labor market, and home sales. Our experts provide insights on the market's reaction to these reports, the anticipated Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting next week, and the performance of different sectors and asset classes. We also touch on some unusual market dynamics, with low-quality and high-beta stocks outperforming higher-quality companies. Finally, we talk sandwiches in celebration of National Bologna Day. Speakers:Brian Pietrangelo, Managing Director of Investment StrategyGeorge Mateyo, Chief Investment OfficerStephen Hoedt, Head of EquitiesRajeev Sharma, Head of Fixed Income 02:06 – We highlight three key reports from the week: state-level initial weekly unemployment claims suggest no cause for concern, existing home sales are up slightly, and—despite the government shutdown—the Bureau of Labor Statistics was allowed to compile and release a mixed but overall favorable Consumer Price Index report.06:00 – Corporations seem to be navigating increased costs due to tariffs by cutting their labor force.08:50 – The Fed is likely to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at next week's FOMC meeting, with many expecting another 25 basis point cut in December, and several more next year. 10:44 – October continues to be a rally month for the bond market thanks to low market volatility, tight credit spreads, and abundant liquidity.12:59 – Equities continued to climb and set all-time highs as third quarter earnings season continues, with a spotlight on reports from Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta next week.15:53 – We discuss differences in quality within the equities and bond markets, and posit an apparent shift in principles and heuristics in equities between the pre- and post-pandemic periods.

Grab your drink, maybe a tissue, and get ready for some feel-good magic.This week, we're wrapping up our baseball journey with the story of a very young Joseph Gordon-Levitt, a perpetually frustrated Danny Glover, and a bunch of very literal angels helping out the worst team in baseball. We'll be talking about the unabashedly sentimental heart of this film, the pure joy of seeing a hopeless team turn things around, and whether you believe in miracles (on or off the field).

We're stepping back in time to the epic 1961 home run race with 61* - the story of Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle.
