US Market: Wall Street rises on strong GDP data, S&P 500 sets a new record
Live MintUS Market News: Thursday saw gains in most US stock as a result of the most recent indication that the economy is still far better than anticipated. With robust consumer spending driving faster-than-expected growth in the fourth quarter, the US economy defied grim forecasts of a recession following the Federal Reserve's aggressive hike in interest rates. The US Federal Reserve could wait until March to begin lowering interest rates due to the robust economic performance that seems to have continued into the new year. Investors can see if the high valuations of these heavyweight companies are justified after their stocks have surged since Wall Street bottomed out in 2022 when they release their quarterly results next week from Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms.
