The stock market experienced a significant rally, marking its best week in over a year, following the decisive election win of President-elect Donald Trump and a quarter-point interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 rose nearly 4.7% for the week, while the Russell 2000 index, focusing on smaller companies, surged 8.5%. Stocks benefited from investor optimism regarding Trump's business-friendly policies, including tax cuts and deregulation.
