Good MorningEquities reversed Wednesday’s losses, with the Dow and the S&P 500 both flirting with record highs. However, it was the Russell 2000 that posted the largest percentage gain, signaling that investors may have a more “risk on” appetite.
A key catalyst for the latest rally came from Micron, which reported strong demand for its memory chips ahead of its earnings. In fact, the entire chip sector moved higher on the news.
Investors also cheered the final reading on the second-quarter GDP, which came in as expected. Sentiment for Chinese stocks has also been rising since the Chinese government’s aggressive stimulus efforts.
But investors still need to watch for volatility. Micron has given investors high expectations. Any wobble in its earnings report, which came after the market closed, may become a sell-the-news event. Plus, investors will get the latest reading on the PCE index before the market opens tomorrow.
