The Dow Jones Industrial Average has consistently risen, indicated by its longest winning streak in the last 20 years, bouncing back from tariff-related deficits. Such a positive trend is also observed in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, despite fluctuating gains and the economic contraction for the first time since 2022. While the stock market recovers successfully, AI companies' stock performance, particularly Microsoft and Meta Platforms, have significantly impacted the trend of robust market performance. These companies lead the Nasdaq rally and drove the S&P 500 to its longest winning streak in decades. Despite some uncertainty surrounding earnings reports and the lingering impact of Trump's tariffs, strong earnings from big tech companies appear to be buoying the market. Yet, the GDP print indicates the economy's contraction while positive job data suggests a favorable economic climate. There's a high interest in the three highest-paying dividend stocks on the Dow Jones. The performance of Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, and Apple impacts dictates Dow's direction alongside news regarding US-China trade talks easing.
