Market Performance: Wall Street showed moderate gains last week with the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq Composite increasing by 1.1% to 1.2%. The Federal Reserve's meeting minutes indicated a divide among officials regarding interest rate cuts, while U.S. inflation slowed to 2.4% in September, slightly above forecasts.
Top Gaining ETFs: Notable ETFs included Defiance Daily Target 1.75x Long MSTR ETF (MSTX) up 35.9% due to MicroStrategy's stock surge, GraniteShares 2x Long UBER Daily ETF (UBRL) up 33.3% following Uber's stock rise after Tesla's robotaxi event, and Defiance Daily Target 2X Long SMCI ETF (SMCX) up 30.6% linked to Super Micro Computer's AI-related growth.
