Is September really the “September Curse” for investors?
September has historically been one of the more challenging months for the stock market.
But there’s another issue we’re watching closely right now:
Inflation.
Why does it matter?
Because inflation could play a major role in the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise, hold, or lower interest rates.
If inflation continues to cool, the Fed may have more flexibility to lower rates.
If inflation remains stubborn, rates could stay higher for longer.
So what’s the most concerning part?
It’s not knowing exactly what the Fed will do next.
It’s having a retirement plan that requires you to be right about what happens next.
