YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWatch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube().
Wall Street traders sent stocks to all-time highs on speculation that solid corporate earnings will keep powering market gains. The dollar slid to an almost four-year low. Gold held above $5,000.
Not even a slump in consumer confidence prevented a fifth day of gains for the S&P 500, which approached 7,000. United Parcel Service Inc. gave a bullish outlook. The Nasdaq 100 rose 0.9% before results from megacaps. UnitedHealth Group Inc. led losses in insurers on a disappointing forecast and as the US proposed holding payments to private Medicare plans flat next year.
The dollar slid to its lowest since February 2022 as signs of US support to boost the yen reinforced the argument about potential coordinated intervention to guide the greenback lower against key trading partners.
On the eve of the Federal Reserve decision, Treasury yields edged up. The central bank is projected to halt its rate-cutting cycle as a steadier jobs market restores a degree of consensus among officials after months of growing division.
The expected decision to hold rates is likely to amplify the outrage of President Donald Trump, who wants them slashed.
