SPX: positive sentiment will hold
Analysts are noting that the S&P 500 ended its best week in 2024. Although the year is slowly approaching the New Year holidays in December, the market sentiment continues to remain quite strong. The index reached its fresh new all time highest level at 6.043, breaking its 6K level.
One of the topics which pushed the semiconductor and chip producers shares to the upside was the Bloomberg report, which noted that additional barriers on the sale of semiconductors to China, imposed by the Biden administration, was not so severe, as the market previously perceived. Market favourite Nvidia surged by 3%, while other semiconductor and chip producers followed the move. Some influence to the equity market came also from the US bonds market, which eased in expectation of further rate cuts and its positive impact to the economy.
As per CME Group FedWatch Tool there is currently 66% odds that the Fed will cut interest rates at their December meeting by additional 25 bps. As long as such a sentiment strongly holds on the market, it could be expected to have a further positive impact on the value of the equity index till its final slowdown nearing the New Year Holiday. At this point, the S&P 500 gained around 24% for the year, which is its best yearly results since 2021.
