YARDENI: SEPTEMBER STOCK WEAKNESS COULD BE A BUYING OPPORTUNITY Yardeni Research says September’s reputation as the weakest month for stocks could create an attractive buying opportunity ahead of a year-end rally. The firm acknowledges concerns over rising bond yields, high oil prices and potential rate hikes, but believes yields are normalizing rather than reaching dangerously high levels. Yardeni also points to resilient U.S. economic data, including strong consumer spending and manufacturing activity. The firm notes that the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model estimates 4.8% growth for the third quarter, supporting its positive outlook.(*Walter Bloomberg)
