Market Moment

10/2/2023

  • With less than 100 days left in 2023, the market is entering a historically strong period. Since 1945, the S&P 500 has averaged a 4.1% gain during the last 100 days of the year, with positive returns 77% of the time. *1
  • Nearly half of US adults are now open to signing prenups, an 8% increase from the previous year. This is particularly true among younger generations. 41% of Gen Z and 47% of millennials who are engaged or have been married reported that they had entered a prenup. 2
  • Mortgage rates reached their highest point in almost 23 years, with the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate hitting 7.31% this week. This is the highest rate since December 2000. 3
  • Fewer than 30 stocks in the S&P 500 now offer a higher dividend yield than the 6-month Treasury bill. This is a shift compared to 2021 before interest rates began to rise, when 379 index constituents had higher yields than the Treasury bill. 4
