S&P 500 hits new high on rate cut bets – The index rose +0.32% to another record as markets priced in further Fed easing. Gains were broad-based, with 421 constituents higher, while small-caps outperformed sharply (Russell 2000 +1.98%, best two-day run since April). The Magnificent 7 lagged (-0.31%), easing from Tuesday’s record.
Macro backdrop – Optimism was supported by rate cut expectations despite geopolitical tensions. Trump warned of “very severe consequences” for Russia without a ceasefire, while US Treasury Secretary Bessent urged Europe to toughen energy sanctions.
Risk appetite – Bitcoin hit a fresh record above $124,500, underscoring investor appetite for risk assets.
