Manage episode 431713586 series 2991632
US equities rallied overnight, driven by a surge in tech stocks and dovish commentary from Powell. The S&P 500 climbed 1.58%, with six out of 10 sectors advancing, led by tech and consumer cyclical stocks. The NASDAQ rose 2.64%, its second-biggest daily percentage gain since February, buoyed by gains in Nvidia, up 12.8%, on positive sales forecast by peer AMD, which also rose 4.34%. Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index finished up nearly 7%. The Dow gained 99 points (+0.24%) up 455 points at best, and small caps Russell 2000 added 0.51%. For July, equities were mostly higher, with significant rotation out of tech, growth and momentum stocks and into small caps and value. Dow +4.41%, S&P 500 +1.13%, NASDAQ -0.75%, and Russell 2000 +10.10%. The Fed held rates at 5.25%-5.50% as expected. There were no explicit signals for a September rate cut. However, Powell said a rate cut could be on the table in September. US treasury yields tumbled. Both the 10Y and 2Y yields fell over ten basis points each. The US dollar fell 0.49% and Bitcoin eased 2.13%.
