The U.S. stock market is typically positive for midterm election years, though October can be notoriously volatile. By the time you read this article, we’ll have election results and more economic reports to guide us through the rest of the year.

There’s also geopolitical uncertainty about the ongoing war in Ukraine and a potential energy crisis in Europe this winter. Global events impact our stock market, and inflation is persistent around the globe.
Whatever happens, experts are expecting a volatile finish to the year—and where the market is headed is anyone’s guess. As we enter the final earnings season of the year, companies are already lowering their Q4 outlook because of increased prices and borrowing costs, as well as a persistently strong U.S. dollar, which makes U.S. exports more expensive for other countries.
Keep in mind that investments easily outpace inflation over time—even with the normal ups and downs of the market.
