Good MorningMarket volatility remained high on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 rebounding more than half a percent from the previous day's low. The move was driven by earnings reports, including one from Morgan Stanley. The investment bank reported better-than-expected top and bottom-line results, stimulating demand for financial stocks and other risk-on assets. Semiconductor stocks also contributed to the rebound, with shares of NVIDIA up more than 3.5% and AMD up by 1%.
The rally in equities is likely to continue through year-end because of earnings growth. The outlook for 2024 has dimmed from the peak set earlier in the year. Still, in the double-digit range, the forecast for S&P 500 earnings remains bright, with double-digit growth expected to persist in 2025: earnings fuel capital returns and capital return growth, another factor supporting the uptrend in stocks. Capital returns are expected to grow at a mid-to-high single-digit pace again in 2025, suggesting the uptrend could continue for several more quarters, if not through the end of next year.
