During Wednesday’s regular trading session, all three major indexes closed higher, primarily led by gains in tech and momentum stocks on improved sentiment as fears over inflated tech stock valuations eased. The Nasdaq Composite, the Dow Jones, and the S&P 500 gained 0.65%, 0.48%, and 0.37%, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court heard arguments challenging the legality of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, but did not make a decision yesterday. It is uncertain when the court will announce its ruling, although the Trump administration has requested a faster decision. The outcome could have significant implications for trade policy, supply chains, and inflation expectations.
