Market Ascendance: Unprecedented Heights for U.S. Indices
U.S. Equities Experience Significant Gains
On Friday, American equity markets demonstrated robust performance, culminating in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indexes establishing fresh record highs. This upward momentum was largely fueled by positive investor sentiment, which reacted favorably to the latest inflation figures. The Consumer Price Index for September registered a 3.0% increase, notably lower than the projected 3.1%, alleviating some concerns about persistent inflationary pressures.
