In case you missed it, the European Central Bank Thursday made a half-point interest rate hike, marking its fifth consecutive move as part of its inflation-fighting efforts. Speaking of rates, today we're going over a key economic indicator that suggests more upside ahead for stocks.

Specifically, the MOVE Index — which measures volatility of US Treasury yields — has dipped to lows that haven't been seen since the Fed's first rate hike of this cycle. This means potentially smaller swings in the stock market as highly rate-sensitive equities get some relief after big rate moves battered indexes in 2022.

Jeremy Grantham's firm GMO just launched a fund targeting "quality" small-cap stocks. Growing fears about a recession weren't enough to stop small cap stocks from having a great month in October.

That's a challenge for any investor, but they say it's harder with smaller companies because their competitive edges fade faster.

"That's really what has 100% of the explanatory power of the yield curve. The Fed is expected to announce yet another mega-hike of 75 basis points at the end of its October meeting Thursday, which could invert Powell's favorite yield curve.
