Consumer spending was expected to hold strong in September, possibly even more than forecast and enough to throw another wrinkle into the Federal Reserve's thought process. "If retail sales accelerate considerably, in our view, the narrative may shift further toward 'no landing' or even re-acceleration." "Monthly retail sales data can be volatile. For now, Bhave thinks a strong sales report will "probably not … at least, not yet" hit Fed policy.

Morgan Stanley: 16.2% Following the Fed's decision, shares advanced as investors became more optimistic about a soft landing for the U.S. economy. Morgan Stanley benefits from lower rates — and, in turn, a better economy — because it can usher in more Wall Street dealmaking such as initial public offerings and mergers and acquisitions. That's because the Club has been debating exiting Morgan Stanley altogether for a potentially better investment banking rebound play like Goldman Sachs. Morgan Stanley reiterated its buy-equivalent rating on Oct. 10, arguing that Eaton has a positive setup into earnings season.

☆ Jim Cramer explains why investors should wait out 'sloppy' post-earnings trading
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-15 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer critiqued the market action Tuesday and advised investors not to trade when stocks react immediately to earnings reports, as some of these moves are not necessarily warranted. He said the action occurred as a part of the "quarterly re-pricing process" of earnings season. While he's against painting with broad strokes when it comes to earnings season, Cramer said he's not suggesting that there aren't important benchmarks and details worth paying attention to. "There are so many people playing with so much money — professionals who pay people fortunes to figure this stuff out — let them fight to set the price," Cramer said. "For regular investors like you, trying to trade that initial post-earnings action is just an easy way to lose money four times a year, like clockwork."
