S&P 500 And Nasdaq Set New Record Highs—Here’s Why Wall Street Expects Rally Could Climb Further
UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – The S&P 500 and Nasdaq set new records fueled by strong tech earnings and AI optimism as investors await Federal Reserve interest rate guidance this week.
- This past week, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs, but `It presents a red flag for the broader market,' Dubravko Lakos-Bujas wrote.
- Alongside the Fed's hold on rates, June's CPI rose to its highest since February, and President Trump’s tariff clock ticks toward an August 1 'hard stop'.
- According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, traders see over 50% odds of a Fed rate cut by September, as they largely rule out a July reduction.
- All eyes are on whether 'Magnificent Seven' results will justify frothy valuations or echo a 2000s-style déjà vu, as investors await Alphabet and Tesla reports this Wednesday.
- With Fed Chair Jerome Powell speaking tomorrow, investors will watch for clues on rate cuts and whether the August 1 tariff deadline sways the central bank's stance, analysts say.
