U.S. stocks reached new closing highs for the year, with the Dow Jones achieving its third highest finish in history.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also set new closing highs, reflecting the overall positive sentiment in the market. Despite easing inflation, the Fed is anticipated to maintain its policy rate at a 22-year high. This comes as the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield continues to decline, indicating lower borrowing costs for the economy. All eyes are on Fed Chair Powell’s remarks on easing financial conditions and the future trajectory of rates.
