Quick Take

"Markets hit new highs in Q3 driven by Fed rate cuts and AI investment momentum. Small caps outperformed dramatically as leadership broadened beyond mega-cap tech."

Executive Summary

Markets carried strong momentum into Q3 with the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and small-cap stocks hitting new highs despite soft labor market data and mixed economic signals. The Federal Reserve delivered a 0.25% rate cut in September after a 9-month pause, framing it as risk management to keep economic expansion on track rather than recession concern. AI continued as a dominant theme with technology-related investment growing 14% year-over-year, the fastest pace since the late 1990s, driven by billions in spending on chips, cloud architecture, and data centers. Market leadership broadened significantly with small-cap stocks rallying sharply and posting their biggest quarter of outperformance since Q1 2021. The Russell 2000 surpassed its 2021 highs as investors bet rate cuts would benefit smaller companies. Looking ahead to Q4, the market views a soft landing as the base case where the economy cools without recession. Key risks include tight corporate credit spreads offering less margin of safety and expensive AI valuations with much optimism already reflected in prices.
