Stocks climb amid Fed rate cut bets

Major U.S. indices traded higher as tech stocks led fresh gains. Meta and Advanced Micro Devices were among the top performers.

Equities were gaining in early trading after a significant move on Tuesday saw the S&P 500 and Nasdaq climb to record highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average had also edged higher, mirroring the overall Optimism cutting across the global stock market.

This outlook strengthened as the July consumer price index report boosted investor expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September. While data showed CPI rose in July, this was lower than expected and combined with other economic readings to bolster bullish bets on the Fed cutting rates.

Notably, President Donald TRUMP announced a 90-day pause on tariffs targeting China. Meanwhile, Citigroup analysts recently forecast the S&P 500 will hit 6,600 in 2025.
