Friday Market Finished with Records | Wall Street Today
The major indices hit the trifecta as the Dow and S&P 500 headed for their best week in a year while the Nasdaq set a record.
At 4:01 p.m. ET, after the $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ crossed 44,000 for the first time, and closed up 0.60% at 43,990. This represented the Dow's best week in a year.
Also undergoing its best week, the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ crossed the 6000 milestone intraday and closed up 0.38%, at 5995. This is a record-high close. While it lagged, the $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ reached an intraday record and closed up 0.09% to 19,286.
MACRO
The Federal Open Market Committee lowered the target Federal Funds rate by 25 basis points to a target of 4.5%-4.75%, citing the progress in inflation and slowing job gains on Thursday.
President-elect Trump has been at odds with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and when asked if he would step down if commanded by the incoming commander-in-chief, Powell said "No."
By the look of the results so far from Congress, the GOP also won majorities in the House and Senate, which may further affect the stock market through regulation, tariffs, and other tax laws.
SECTORS
Within industries tracked by moomoo, Internet retail stocks were falling as a group, weighed down by massive companies in China, like $Alibaba (BABA.US)$ and $PDD Holdings (PDD.US)$ that sank 5-6% after the Chinese Government announced stimulus Friday that was not enough to stem the appetites of hungry investors. According to Reuters, the stimulus move allows local municipalities to move more than $1T of public debt off their balance sheets.
