S&P 500 Reaches All-Time High

Your capital is at risk if you invest. You could lose all your investment. Please see the full risk warning here.

  • On Wednesday, the S&P 500 reached record levels following the release of better-than-expected inflation data
  • The index rose by 1.2% during the session, surpassing 5,300 points for the first time and closing at 5,308. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite and the Dow Jones also achieved record highs, closing at their highest levels ever.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) revealed that price pressures in April eased for the first time this year. The annual rate dropped to 3.4[1]%, down from 3.5% in March. This development has renewed investor optimism that the Federal Reserve may consider lowering interest rates in the coming months.

Robust corporate earnings reports strengthen the case for potential Fed rate cuts this year. Although inflation remains high, the latest data indicate that consumer price pressures are gradually easing.

April’s inflation figures showed a slowdown in both headline and core annual inflation, and retail sales unexpectedly stagnated, increasing the likelihood that the Fed could begin cutting interest rates by September.

The ongoing economic growth, rising profits, and a more accommodating Federal Reserve provide a favorable backdrop for the bull market to persist. Last week, the eagerly awaited April Consumer Price Index (CPI) report was released, meeting market expectations and showing signs of moderating inflation. This was a relief after several months of unexpectedly high inflation reports had caused market anxiety over potential delays in Fed rate cuts.

The CPI report’s underlying trends were promising. The core CPI dropped to 3.6[2]% year-over-year, the lowest in three years. Insurance premiums, which had been pushing inflation upward, showed early signs of easing. Service prices, which had been stubbornly high, also moderated in April, while goods prices continued to decline, driven by lower auto and home-furnishing costs. However, shelter costs, though moderating, remain a concern.

As inflation declines, equity markets are rising.

Corporate profits could reach a new high this year. Helped by ongoing economic growth and less restrictive interest rates.
