Sept 13 (Reuters) -Wall Street's main indexes rose on Friday as investors reevaluated the possibility of a bigger interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve next week, with interest rate sensitive small cap stocks outperforming.
Traders' bets on a 50-basis point rate cut jumped to47% from28% on Thursday, CME's FedWatch Tool showed, after formerNew York Fed President Bill Dudley said late Thursdaythere was a strong case for a 50-bps interest rate cut.
Media reports had said early Thursday the size of the cut was "a close call."
"There's just rumblings that have started to bubble up again that the discussion in the Fed is leaving 50 basis points on the table," Jim Baird, chief investment officer with Plante Moran Financial Advisors, Southfield, Michigan.
Prior to this,bets on the Fed sticking to a smaller 25-bps cut firmed on Thursday following news of slightly higher producer prices followingAugust consumer prices data.
While the renewed hopes for a bigger cut were boosting large cap indexes on Friday they were most evident inthe Russell 2000 small cap index .RUT, which was up 2.2%. Smaller companies are more sensitive to interest rate changes as they depend more on borrowed money and floating rate loans.
Baird argued that trading on Friday appeared to show investor optimism that a 50 basis point cut would not indicate a coming recession.
"If investors were looking at this and saying they have to move quicker because they're behind the curve you wouldn't see risk assets like small caps rally," said Baird. "You're seeing some of the riskier areas of the equity market advance pretty strongly today."
As of 02:20 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 335.25 points, or 0.82%, to 41,432.02, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 33.65 points, or 0.60%, at 5,629.41 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC climbed 118.78 points, or 0.68%, to 17,688.45.
