Stock market today: S&P 500 sets record, longest weekly win streak of 2024 as Netflix surges

Published On Oct 18, 2024, 4:11 PM

The S&P 500 hit a record high as it continued its longest winning streak for the year, driven partly by a significant surge in Netflix's stock. Investor sentiment is positive with increasing momentum in the market, and this uptick can be attributed to several factors, including improved economic indicators and strong corporate earnings, particularly in the tech sector.

Stock Forecasts

Given the strong performance of the S&P 500 and the surge in Netflix's stock, investors may want to consider capitalizing on this momentum. Strong earnings reports from technology and entertainment firms could lead to further gains in these sectors.

The overall market trend is also positive, indicating that the S&P 500 may continue to rise as more companies report favorable earnings. This could be a good time for broader market ETFs focused on US equities.
