Oracle bets on OpenAI and Santa continuously delivers S&P 500 gains during the holidays. Each week, the Syz investment team takes you through the last seven days in seven charts.
Most US stock indexes rose and hit all-time highs during the week, supported by the Federal Reserve’s 3rd consecutive interest rate cut and commentary from central bank officials that some investors interpreted as less hawkish than feared. The small-cap Russell 2000 Index, performed best, adding 1.19%, followed by the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s 1.05% gain. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Index pulled back sharply on Friday and erased its gains from earlier in the week. Renewed concerns regarding technology stock valuations and questions around whether elevated spending on AI infrastructure will pay off weighed on the Nasdaq Composite index, which fell 1.62% over the week.
