Aug 30 (Reuters) -Wall Street stocks rose and the Dow scored a second consecutive all-time closing high on 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.
"Investors are seeing another sign of being in a soft landing," said Cameron Dawson, chief investment officer at Newedge Wealth. "It's another one of those Goldilocks kind of reports really threading a needle right down the center. The market is really getting exactly what it wanted."
A "just-right" Goldilocks economy has steady growth, but not too much that it fuels excessive inflation.
Amazon.com AMZN.O and Tesla TSLA.O each jumped over 3%.
Broadcom AVGO.O rallied nearly 4%, while Marvell Technology MRVL.O surged 9% after the chipmaker forecast quarterly results above estimates.
Thepersonal consumption expenditures report came on Friday after Fed ChairJerome Powell last week expressed support for an imminent policy adjustment.
Economic data next week includes the Labor Department's August jobs report, due on Friday.
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.
Friday ended a tumultuous month on Wall Street after signs of a sudden moderation in the labor market in early August sparked fears of a U.S. recession. The influence of the Japanese yen JPY= carry trade worsened the rout.
Shares have rebounded since then, with the S&P 500 trading near record highs.
Ahead of Monday's U.S. stock market holiday for Labor Day, volume on U.S. exchanges was relatively light, with 11.2 billion shares traded, compared to an average of 11.4 billion shares over the previous 20 sessions.
The S&P 500 .SPX climbed 1.01% to end at 5,648.40 points.
The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC climbed 1.13% to 17,713.62 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 0.55% to 41,563.08 points.
All 11 S&P 500 sector indexes rose, led by consumer discretionary .SPLRCD, up 1.9%, followed by a 1.1% gain in industrials .SPLRCI.
For the month, the S&P 500 rose 2.3%, the Dow added 1.8% and the Nasdaq climbed 0.6%.
Nvidia NVDA.O rose 1.5%, rebounding from a 6.4% drop on Thursday after the artificial intelligence-chip bellwether failed to match sky-high investor expectations, despite upbeat results and a broadly in-line forecast.
NovavaxNVAX.O surged 8.6% after the U.S. Food and Drug Administrationgranted emergency use authorization for an updated version of its COVID shot.
Ulta Beauty ULTA.O slid 4% after it trimmed its annual results forecasts, citing slowing demand for higher-priced cosmetics and fragrances at its stores.
Intel INTC.O jumped almost 10% following a report it was exploring options that could include a merger.
Dell Technologies DELL.N, another AI-related stock, advanced 4.3% after lifting its annual revenue and profit forecasts.
Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group DJT.O, majority owned by former U.S. President Donald Trump, dipped 1.7% to a record low, leaving its stock market value at $3.9 billion.
Advancing issues outnumbered falling ones within the S&P 500 .AD.SPX by a 6.6-to-one ratio.
The S&P 500 posted 79 new highs and two new lows; the Nasdaq recorded 84 new highs and 77 new lows.
