Aug 30 (Reuters) -The Nasdaq and S&P 500 roseon Friday, with Tesla and Amazon climbing after fresh U.S. economic data raised expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates modestly in September.
U.S. consumer spending increased solidly in July, suggesting the economy remained strong while prices rose moderately.

Amazon.com AMZN.O and TeslaTSLA.O each added about 2%.
Broadcom AVGO.O climbed2%, while Marvell Technology MRVL.O jumped 9%after the chipmakerforecast quarterly results above estimates.
Friday's personal consumption expenditures report was the last major economic data release before the Fed's September meeting. Chair Jerome Powell last week expressed support for an imminent policy adjustment.
Money markets suggest traders mostly expect the Fed to cut rates by 25 basis points in September, with odds of a 50 basis point cut dimming further after Friday's data, according to CME Group's FedWatch Tool.
