Strong tech optimism pushes S&P 500 to new highs after 2 years
💸 Higher for longer? Markets opened the week lower as quick #RateCut expectations were dialed back on strong, resilient economic data and Fed Governor Waller noting ‘no reason’ for rates to be cut as quickly as in the past.
️😇 Tech halo. However, investors pushed past delayed #RateCut timing fears with tech rallying strongly on TSMC’s rosy outlook. Semis in particular benefited as likely drivers of TSMC’s outlook from surging #AI demand.
️🎉 New record high. The end of week rally drove the S&P 500 to finish up 1.2% for the week and setting a new all-time high of $4,839.81 surpassing the previous record from January 2022.
