Wall Street's major indexes rallied early Thursday as recent economic indicators reignited hopes for potential monetary policy easing later in the year. Investors eagerly anticipate signals from policymakers regarding the timing of such cuts.
The optimism follows the release of encouraging jobless claims data, which surpassed both the previous week's figures and analysts' estimates. The positive news prompted a retreat in the U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield from its recent high of 4.429% to approximately 4.32%.
Stocks across all S&P 500 sectors are buoyant, with Real Estate leading the gains, while Utilities remain marginally positive. Both Growth and Value stocks are on the rise, with regional banks notably outperforming, rallying over 2%. Conversely, Gold stocks are experiencing a downturn, with the HUI index down around 1%. Market activity remains robust, with further updates expected shortly.
