Dow Jones Hits Record High as US Stocks Rally on Rate Cut Hopes
TOPICSTags: Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P 500, US retail sales
Major US stock indices climbed on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones leading gains. The Dow surged 742.76 points (1.85%), marking its second consecutive record close and the strongest performance since June 2023. The S&P 500 rose 0.64%, while the Nasdaq edged up 0.21%. Market sentiment was primarily driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. Investors shifted focus from large-cap to small-cap stocks, with industrial shares leading the day’s rally. Notably, Dow components Caterpillar (CAT.US) and Boeing (BA.US) saw increases of 4.28% and 3.87%, respectively.
Corporate earnings reports played a significant role in market movements. UnitedHealth (UNH.US) surged 6.5% after beating expectations, further boosting the Dow. Bank of America (BAC.US) gained 5.35% on strong earnings and revenue, while Morgan Stanley (MS.US) shares climbed 0.91%, surpassing forecasts due to robust trading and investment banking results. In contrast, Charles Schwab (SCHW.US) fell 10.18% following a 17% decline in bank deposits to $252.4 billion and a 6% drop in net interest revenue.
Economic data had mixed impacts on the market. Retail sales in the US stalled in June from May 2024, following an upwardly revised 0.3% rise in the previous period. However, this data had minimal effect on overall market risk appetite, as investors remained focused on the broader economic outlook and potential monetary policy changes.
