4 Top-Ranked Invesco Mutual Funds Worth Buying Now

Major U.S. indexes have experienced choppy movements recently. However, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 have posted positive returns of 7.5%, 14.3%, and 11.2%, respectively, so far this year. Recent volatility was mainly driven by investors rotating out of high-valuation technology and AI stocks despite positive earnings news from major tech companies into traditionally safer sectors. Additionally, uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s December interest rate cut expectations has led market participants to stay caution.The end of the government shutdown last week removed major political risks after the U.S. Senate passed the funding bill. However, the labor market remains sluggish. The unemployment rate for September increased to 4.4%, the highest in four years, compared to 4.3% in August, while nonfarm payrolls rose by 119,000, following a decline of 4,000 in August.The employment report for October was canceled due to the government shutdown. Attention now turns to the Fed's December meeting. The key question is whether policymakers will opt for a quarter of a percentage pointcut in benchmark interestrates to the range of 3.75-4.00% to counter labor-market softness and support growth, or maintain a restrictive stance to address inflation that remains above the 2% objective.In such a volatile market situation, investors who wish to diversify in various asset classes but lack professional expertise in managing funds can opt for Invesco mutual funds like Invesco Summit Fund ASMYX, Invesco Small Cap Value VSMIX, Invesco Steelpath Mlp Select 40 Fund MLPTX and Invesco Discovery Fund ODIYX.
