Stock Markets Experience Record Highs After Trump Election Win and Fed Rate Cuts
In a remarkable week for U.S. stock markets, the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average reached historic milestones, with the S&P 500 breaking the 6,000 mark for the first time and the Dow exceeding 44,000. The market rally was fueled by optimism surrounding the election results and subsequent Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Wall Street enjoyed its best week in over a year, with significant contributions from major businesses including Tesla, which hit a valuation of $1 trillion. However, amidst the excitement, futures for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq showed signs of retreat as concerns arose over the sustainability of the recent gains.
