Will September bring more gains than losses for Wall Street?

Welcome to the worst month of the year for Wall Street. Since 1950, September has brought an average loss of 0.5 per cent for the S and P 500. That's 10 times worse than the next-worst month, February. September is also the only month of the year over that span to turn in a loss more often than a gain. Other months see the S and P 500 rise more than three times out of five. Stretch the horizon even further, back to 1928 to include a world war, the Great Depression and completely different types of economies, and September is still the most frequent stinker for Wall Street. No clear reason explains September's struggle, though many hypotheses try. One suggests the return of many professional investors from summer vacations may add to the selling pressure, for example. Last year, the S and P 500 fell 4.8 per cent in September for its first loss in eight months.

Global stocks rise after US job data gain paves way for rate hike

Global stocks gained Monday after strong U.S. jobs data cleared the way for more interest rate hikes and Chinese exports rose by double digits. London, Shanghai, Tokyo and Frankfurt advanced. Hong Kong retreated. Oil prices edged higher. Wall Street's benchmark S&P 500 lost 0.2% on Friday after government data showed American employers added more jobs than expected in June. That undercut expectations a slowing economy might prompt the Fed to postpone or scale back plans for more rate hikes to cool inflation. Now it seems they will be debating whether they need to be even more aggressive, Edward Moya of Oanda said in a report. In early trading, the FTSE 100 in London was up 0.4% at 7,471.08 and the DAX in Frankfurt added 0.4% to 13,629.44. The CAC 40 in Paris advanced 0.6% to 6,512.74. On Wall Street, the future for the S&P 500 rose 0.3% while that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.2%. The S&P declined 0.2% on Friday after government data showed employers hired .
