AI Identifies American Airlines Group Inc Among Today’s Top Shorts To Close September Trading

Mercifully, it’s the final trading day of September. While the market did not have a correction per se, it was a turbulent month, even by September’s standards. Before the market’s open on September 30th, the Dow DOW was down 2.7% for the month, the S&P 500 was down 3.6%, and the Nasdaq NDAQ was most notably down 4.9%. Every other day there was some sort of negative catalyst weighing on the market’s sentiment, and we’re about to enter October with more of them. Be that as it may, the indices were set to gain and end the month on a positive note. The Dow Jones gained 107 points, or 0.3%, the S&P 500 added 0.3%, and Nasdaq bounced back 0.4% after plummeting thanks to rising bond yields. Sentiment also got a boost as the Senate agreed to a deal avoiding a government shutdown. The House would then need to pass it. Meanwhile, the House also passed a resolution expanding the debt ceiling, which will almost certainly fail the 60/40 required vote in the Senate. So we will see how this progresses, as the Treasury Dept. warned we could default or run out of money by October 18th if it doesn’t.
