S&P 500 Shatters Records: The Top-Performing Stocks In January 2024
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The S&P 500 index has reached a new record high of 4,839 points, driven by strong performances from tech giants and semiconductor stocks. The Federal Reserve's potential interest rate cuts in 2024, following a sustained decline in inflation, have also contributed to the market's optimism. NVIDIA, Meta Platforms, and AMD were top performers in 2023, with significant gains. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) reflects these trends with its leading performers, including Juniper Networks, NVIDIA, AMD, Palo Alto Networks, and Arista Networks.
