Despite a raft of risky events, some on Wall Street argue that the latest bear-market rally in stocks has more room to run. Here's 8 things investors need to watch in a volatile market:

An earlier version of this story misstated the date of the U.S. midterm elections. They will be held Nov. 8, not Nov. 9.

Midterm U.S. elections, which will determine which party controls the House and Senate in the U.S. are slated to take place Nov. 8. Fed-funds futures traders anticipate the upper end of the central bank’s key target rate will rise to 5% before the end of the first quarter of next year, and remain there potentially into the fourth quarter, although an earlier cut wouldn’t be a complete surprise, according to the CME’s FedWatch tool.

Technical indicators suggest the S&P 500 can continue to build on last week’s gain, said Katie Stockton, a market strategist at Fairlead Strategies, in a note she shared with clients and MarketWatch. This earnings season is off to an good start At this point, it’s safe to say that the third-quarter earnings season has vanquished fears that the Fed’s interest-rate hikes and gnawing inflation had already dramatically eroded profit margins, market strategists said.

While investors are still waiting on earnings from roughly three-quarters of S&P 500 firms, according to FactSet data, some — like Morgan Stanley’s Wilson — are already looking toward next year as they expect the outlook for profits will darken substantially, possibly leading to an earnings recession — when corporate earnings shrink for two quarters in a row.
