S&P 500 SURGES AS INVESTORS BANK ON SEPTEMBER RATE CUT
U.S. stocks closed sharply higher after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell bolstered expectations that the central bank will begin cutting interest rates in September.
Heavyweight growth stocks led the way higher, with Nvidia NVDA.O adding 4.5% ahead of its quarterly report next Wednesday, which is set to be the week's centerpiece event on Wall Street.
Tesla TSLA.O gained 4.6%, while Apple AAPL.O added 1%.
"The time has come for policy to adjust," Powell said in a highly anticipated speech to the Kansas City Fed's annual economic conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Powell's comments added certainty to already broad expectations for a rate cut at the Fed's September policy meeting.
"This morning's speech definitely used the strongest language yet that interest rates are very likely to start in September with the key question being 25 or 50 basis points," said Stephen Kolano, Chief Investment Officer at Integrated Partners.
The S&P 500 is now up 18.1% so far in 2024, and is just 0.6% down from its July 16 record high close.
