US Blue-Chip Stocks Face Tough Start to 2024
US blue-chip stocks saw one of their worst starts to the year in a decade, breaking a nine-week bull run. Despite a 0.2% gain on Friday, the S&P 500 index experienced a 1.5% loss for the shortened four-day trading week, leaving investors uncertain about the balance between potential interest rate cuts and fears that a robust economy could delay monetary easing. The market showed significant volatility, reacting to strong employment data and later rebounding on weak service sector figures, renewing hopes for earlier-than-expected Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. The shift contrasts sharply with December, when the S&P closed a nine-week bull run, ending 2023 near an all-time high.
