The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cSell on Rosh Hashanah, buy on Yum Kippur\u201d (i.e. Sell S&P 500 on September 22nd<\/sup>, buy on October 1st<\/sup> this year) is working once again. Likelihood of the event is compounded by the traditional \u201chang over\u201d impact on equity and options markets following expiration of September listed options and futures on Friday. Other short term events, that could influence U.S. equity markets this week, include a possible shut down of the U.S. government if Congress is unable to pass a funding bill by October 1st<\/sup> and news released after the close on Friday that President Trump has demanded the firing of Microsoft\u2019s President of Global Affairs. <\/p>\n
