Dow Jones Industrial Average marked a historic feat, hitting the 40,000 threshold for the first time before subsequently losing steam. This surge in value was associated with the anticipation of
Federal reserve interest rate cuts, with global stocks also reaching record milestones. However, as the Dow Jones momentarily exceeds 40K, the index did fall back below this benchmark. This fluctuation shows a resilient but volatile market, as investors remain cautious due to concerns over inflation. Notably,
Walmart's stock demonstrated strong performance and
rallied 7% on earnings, creating positive impact on Dow. Meanwhile, contend follows as to the relevance of the Dow as a market index, with some framing it as '
the stock market’s dumbest index'. As stocks regroup, renewed bets on a
Fed rate cut prop up hopes for sustained positive market movements. However, various
meme stocks seem to be on a downtrend.
