Stock futures inch lower, but major averages on track for second positive week in a row: Live updates
Published On Jan 23, 2025, 6:02 PM
Current market sentiment reflects slight declines in stock futures following an impressive week where the S&P 500 achieved a record high. President Donald Trump's speech in Davos, Switzerland, which called for immediate interest rate cuts and lower oil prices, boosted market optimism. All major indices, including the Dow and S&P 500, are on track for their second consecutive positive week, with significant gains driven by strong corporate earnings. However, there is a focus on rising Treasury yields, which may signal inflationary pressures as economic activity picks up.
