To The Moon

As of Tuesday's market close, in past week all three major indexes closed higher $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ up 1.78%, $S&P 500(.SPX)$ gaining 2.05%, and $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ rising 2.47% reflecting broad market strength. Data from TradingView shows that 27 companies with a market cap of over $10 billion have reached new highs.

• Easing Trade Tensions:
  The U.S. announced a delay in imposing additional tariffs on European products and agreed to accelerate trade talks with the EU. This news significantly boosted market confidence, reduced fears of escalating trade conflicts, and improved global risk appetite, encouraging capital inflow into equity markets.

• Improved Economic Data:
  According to a survey released by The Conference Board on May 27, the U.S. Consumer Confidence Index rose to 98 in May from 85.7 in April, surpassing market expectations and ending a five-month decline. This reflects growing optimism among consumers regarding the economic outlook and their personal financial situations, a positive sign for economic growth and corporate earnings.However, April’s durable goods orders totaled $296.3 billion, down 6.3% from the previous month. Although better than the expected 8.1% decline, it still indicates ongoing weakness in the manufacturing sector.

• Impact of Federal Reserve Policy:
  Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari stated that tariff negotiations under the Trump administration could take months or even years to resolve, potentially resulting in tit-for-tat tariff escalations. He noted that the impact of tariffs on intermediate goods would take time to filter through to final product prices. While this adds uncertainty to the outlook for inflation and interest rate policy, expectations for Fed rate cuts have recently strengthened. The market now sees an increased likelihood of a rate cut before September, following a potential pause at the June meeting.
