The S&P 500 has set a new historical record


July, 03 2024
watermark Economic news

The S&P 500 index reached a new historic high at the close of trading on Tuesday, receiving support from the optimism of Wall Street traders and expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. 


The index reached 5,509 points after the statement by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell about the return of the United States to the path of disinflation. For the first time in its history, the S&P 500 recorded a level above 5,500 points, which marked the 32nd record high this year and continued strong growth in 2024. 


Shares of Tesla Inc. jumped 10%, and the Nasdaq 100 index reached 20,000 points. Apple, Amazon and Microsoft have also reached their annual peaks. 


At the same time, Nvidia shares declined by 1.3%, which raised investors' doubts about the company's ability to maintain its success. Lennar Corp. and D.R. Horton Inc. also suffered losses due to the downgrade of Citigroup Inc. due to concerns about the weak housing market. 


Of all the sectors in the S&P 500 index, only healthcare and energy closed in the red, while the consumer discretionary sector showed the largest growth.
