Record Market Milestones
The S&P 500 reached a significant milestone by crossing the 6,000 mark for the first time, just nine months after breaking the 5,000 level. The index posted its best weekly gain in a year, climbing nearly 5 percent, while other indices, including the Dow and Nasdaq, also hit record highs. Factors contributing to this rally include a quarter-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve and the optimistic market outlook following Donald Trump's election win. As small-cap stocks outperformed the S&P 500, discussions arose regarding the best sectors to invest in during this bullish trend.
