Motley FoolGot $1,000? Here's How I'd Invest It Before the Next Rally
Although the stock market tends to go up over the long term, there are always down periods along the way, including the recent bear market that began in 2022. If you have $1,000 to invest before the next stock market rally, I'd use it to cover a lot of ground with S&P 500 and Russell 2000 exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The S&P 500 is an index that tracks the 500 largest public U.S. companies by market cap.
ReutersInvestors rethink recession plays, boosting U.S. stock market laggards
A U.S. stocks rally is showing signs of expanding beyond the cluster of giant growth and tech names that have led gains this year, as investors reposition portfolios primed for a widely expected recession. For months, investors piled into a handful of megacap companies seen as safe bets in uncertain times, spurring a rally that has lifted the S&P 500 nearly 12% year-to-date, concentrated in a small group of stocks. As the U.S. economy holds up despite higher interest rates, fears of an imminent downturn are fading.

US STOCKS-S&P 500, Nasdaq set to edge up as yields slip after jobless claims data
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were set to open slightly higher on Thursday as Treasury yields slipped after data showed weekly jobless claims rose more than expected, countering some concerns about further interest rate hikes. The two-year Treasury yield, which tends to move in step with short-term rate expectations, slipped from one-week highs to 4.50% after a big jump in weekly jobless claims signaled a softening labor market.

US STOCKS-Futures muted as bond yields rise on rate jitters
U.S. stock index futures were largely flat on Thursday as government bond yields hovered near recent highs on worries that major central banks could keep raising interest rates. The benchmark S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq closed lower on Wednesday, with megacap stocks leading declines as U.S. bond yields rose after the Bank of Canada (BoC) surprised markets with an interest rate hike. Microsoft Corp slipped marginally in premarket trading, while Apple Inc and Amazon.com Inc inched up after Wednesday's declines.

MORNING BID AMERICAS-Canadian cloud, rates markets checked
The Bank of Canada's resumption of interest rate rises after a four-month pause blurred the horizon for Federal Reserve policy somewhat too, reminding markets that central banks still see inflation as way too high and rate hikes are not done yet. It was enough to nudge borrowing rates back up slightly across the maturity spectrum and served a shot across the bow to otherwise buoyant stock markets and subdued risk gauges.
