Chuck Hughes Optioneering Weekly Market Update October 24, 2025
Inflation Surprise, S&P 500 Breakout, and BWXT Call Option Success
Blaine Markham from the Chuck Hughes Optioneering team, gives you a quick rundown of what’s been happening in the stock market this week.
The big news is that the latest inflation report came in lower than expected, which gave the markets a nice boost. All the major US indexes are up, especially tech and smaller companies.
The S&P 500 hit a new all-time high, breaking through a resistance level it’s been stuck at for a while. This is mostly because investors are expecting the Fed to cut interest rates soon, and earnings reports have been strong.
Looking ahead, there are some big events next week: major company earnings, a Fed meeting, and a US-China trade meeting, all of which could shake things up.
In short: the market’s looking bullish right now, with lots of action expected next week.
Have a great weekend and watch for another update next Friday.
