Good MorningU.S. stocks held near all-time highs as traders doubled down on expectations for Fed rate cuts by year-end. Signs of easing inflation and slowing growth supported a rally in rate-sensitive sectors like real estate, fintech, and regional banks.
Momentum was boosted by corporate news: Robinhood will join the S&P 500, PNC Financial is buying FirstBank for $4.1B, and SpaceX struck a $17B spectrum deal with EchoStar. These headlines spurred gains in satellite, banking, and clean-energy stocks.
While oil and ag commodities ticked higher and geopolitical risks briefly shook markets, the broader trend remained bullish. Investors are eyeing policy shifts and M&A headlines to drive the next leg of the rally. Featured: Elon’s big $266,000 per second purchase (Ad)
