Bulls Take Charge: Record Highs, Trade Deals & Standout Stocks
Markets surged into the weekend with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting fresh record highs, driven by a US-China rare earth export deal and mounting Fed rate cut hopes. The Dow rallied over 500 points as bullish momentum swept across sectors.
Top performers included Nike (+15%), posting a blowout quarter, and Boeing (+4.6%) after an analyst upgrade. Cruise liners like Carnival, RCL, and NCLH jumped 3–4%, while Nvidia (+1.4%) extended its lead as the most valuable US company.
On the flip side, Coinbase (-6.2%) and Palantir (-3.4%) saw sharp pullbacks, and gold miners like Newmont fell with declining safe-haven demand.
