S&P 500 Hits Record High Amid Tech Gains and Economic Concerns
The S&P 500 closed at a record high above 7,800 for the first time in nearly two months. The Nasdaq Composite also reached an all-time closing high as tech stocks surged, with chipmakers like Marvell Technology, Advanced Micro Devices, and Broadcom leading gains. Treasury yields retreated from multi-decade highs but remain elevated ahead of a key bond auction and Federal Reserve meeting minutes release. Meanwhile, economic concerns persist due to the impact of ICE raids on local economies. A University of Pennsylvania study found that communities affected by immigration enforcement actions experienced reduced spending and foot traffic, resembling recession-like conditions. Minneapolis reported nearly $700 million in lost economic activity following a major ICE operation. Meta is collaborating with Walmart, Stripe, and others to develop an open standard for AI agent interactions aimed at improving business experiences.
