Good MorningEquity markets rose on Thursday, led by the Dow Jones Industrial Average, as investors rotated into the broader economy. The move was sparked by a week of tepid economic data and Fedspeak pointing to additional monetary policy easing. Easing policy headwinds will make it cheaper for businesses to invest and grow, which catalyzes stock prices. The biggest Dow gainer was Salesforce, a tech stock exposed to companies and industries across sectors.
Market leader NVIDIA is also responsible for some of Thursday's action. The AI powerhouse reported another quarter of stunning results, sparking intraday volatility that eventually led to higher prices at the close. The stock advanced by more than 1% at the close, showing support at a critical moving average and a high likelihood of moving higher over the next few weeks. Analysts are lifting their targets for the stock price and see it advancing about 35% over the next 12 months. Featured: Blackrock’s Sending THIS Crypto Higher on Purpose (Crypto 101 Media)
