On September 9, 2024, stock markets rallied as investors bought dip in tech stocks ahead of a widely anticipated interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 rose 0.75%, closing just 1.3% shy of a new all-time high. Major tech companies like Nvidia, Alphabet, and Meta saw significant gains, underpinned by positive inflation data. Analysts predict the S&P 500 may hit a new peak as cooling inflation and Fed rate cuts create a favorable environment for stocks, particularly in the tech and small-cap sectors.
