- On Wednesday, U.S. stocks climbed once again, with the S&P 500 increasing by 0.5% to reach a new peak for the third occasion within the past four days.

- The market moves imply cautious optimism about trade progress, though concerns remain around tariffs, U.S. job cuts, and mixed economic data expected soon.
