Global Markets Hit Record Highs on Fed Rate Cut Hopes
Global financial markets are currently experiencing a significant upswing, with major US stock benchmarks achieving unprecedented levels this week. This robust rally is primarily fueled by the Federal Reserve’s recent initial step in what is anticipated to be a series of rapid interest rate cuts, signaling a potential shift towards more accommodating monetary policy.
Following a dynamic week, the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Russell 2000 all closed at all-time highs. While futures suggest a quieter conclusion to the trading week, the underlying momentum from the Fed’s actions continues to bolster investor confidence. Concurrently, US Treasuries have seen notable shifts, with the 10-year yield rising two basis points to 4.12%. The dollar, meanwhile, is on course for its longest streak of gains since July, reflecting its strengthening position in the global currency landscape.
