The stock market experienced a remarkable September, with the Dow and S&P 500 reaching record highs, capping off a strong quarter. Investors are optimistic as September trading nears its end, with more positives than negatives on the horizon despite October historically posing difficulties. Analysts note that this could be the best September for Wall Street since 2019, which has set up a potential earnings season ahead that may test these gains. As stocks edge higher and investors look ahead, many are considering whether October could outperform the previous month or offer buying opportunities amidst ongoing volatility.
