Global Markets Surge to New Heights

Worldwide equities achieved a new pinnacle on Friday, buoyed by market sentiment surrounding encouraging signals from ongoing discussions between the United States and China regarding trade. Simultaneously, the dollar валюта maintained levels near its lowest valuation in over three years.

US Market Performance

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices both reached unprecedented highs, fueled in part by gains in prominent growth stocks, including Nvidia and Amazon.

Weekly Gains

Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are on track to record weekly gains, demonstrating an approximate 5% increase year-to-date. This follows a turbulent first half of the year, notably influenced by the tariff announcement made on April 2, which initially triggered a sharp decline in stock values.

Key Index Movements
  • Dow Jones Industrial Average: Increased by 1.13% to reach 43,879.23.
  • S&P 500: Advanced by 0.62%, closing at 6,178.95.
  • Nasdaq Composite: Grew by 0.51% to 20,270.99.
