Listen now
Description
The S&P 500 closed at a new all-time high above 5,500 following a drop in Treasury yields due to dovish remarks from Fed Chair Powell. Fed minutes loom tomorrow in a short session.
Wall Street closed at all-time highs after relatively weak jobs data sent yields down on hopes of rate cuts. Inflation data, Powell testimony, and big bank earnings are next week.
Wall Street once again delivered a record close in Wednesday's short session ahead of Thursday's July 4 closure. Mega caps led after weaker data strengthened hopes of rate cuts.
