Nov 7 (Reuters) -Wall Street's main indexes added to their gains on Thursday in the run-up to the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision, extending a sharp rally sparked by Donald Trump's stunning comeback as U.S. president for a second time.
Traders have about fully priced in a 25-basis-point rate cut, but will keep a close watch on the central bank's commentary for clues on the future path of monetary easing.
Investor expectations that Trump would lower corporate taxes and loosen regulations had lifted all three major indexes in the previous session.
Adam Turnquist, Chief Technical Strategist for LPL Financial said it was the S&P 500's best post-Election Day performance on record.
On Thursday too, all the three major indexes were trading near record highs, but going ahead much would depend on the central bank's rate-cut outlook.
Traders have trimmed their bets to just two rate cuts in 2025 on consistently robust economic data and after accounting for the chances of higher inflation stemming from Trump's proposed tariffs and government spending.
"(The election) could slow the Fed's cutting speed next year, I still think you cut today and in December by 25 basis points, and as you go into next year it turns into quarterly cuts," said Frank Rybinski, head of macro strategy at Aegon Asset Management.
"But at the end of the day, the pendulum is shifting towards lower rates."
