Dow Soars to Record High on UnitedHealth Rally—While S&P 500 & Nasdaq Stumble as Rate-Cut Hopes Fade
Wall Street's split personality is back. The Dow Jones rockets toward all-time highs, turbocharged by UnitedHealth's explosive surge—meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq trip over cooling rate-cut fantasies.
The bullish outlier
One healthcare giant's rally defies gravity, propping up the Dow while the rest of the market yawns at the Fed's 'higher for longer' whispers.
Tech's temper tantrum
Growth stocks pout as traders finally accept what crypto degens learned years ago: free money isn't coming back. Cue the 'soft landing' narrative spin cycle.
Bonus jab: Another day, another 'market reacts to Fed speculation' headline—because clearly, 2025's algo-driven markets still pretend to care about human decision-making.
