Bulls Stampede On Wall Street: S&P 500 Smashes All-Time Highs, Dow Jones Marks Record Close, Nasdaq 100 Hits Mid-July Levels
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Wall Street surged with the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 reaching new highs due to a pullback in oil prices and no escalation in the Middle East. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA), and Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) saw gains. Cruise lines like Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) and Carnival Corporation (CCL) were top performers, while utilities lagged. The Federal Reserve's rate cut debate added to market dynamics.
