Weakening job numbers, dovish Fed commentary, plummeting rate-hike odds in betting markets, historical precedent of no October hikes before midterms, and lower real-time inflation data all suggest a pause is likely. A slower pace of rate hikes is generally bullish for equities, particularly AI-related stocks.View source ↗Zacks Investment ResearchOct 2, 2026bullish11
