The Dow Jones Industrial Average® (DJI) notched a record-high close for the fifth straight day Tuesday, and the S&P 500® index (SPX) edged even closer to an all-time high as the market's holiday rally continued to keep its legs, fueled by the Federal Reserve's apparent policy "pivot" and optimism the economy can pull off a "soft landing."
Tuesday produced another day of broad gains, with most major market sectors extending a rally sparked by last week's Fed policy meeting, at which the central bank scaled up its projection for rate cuts in 2024. Small-cap stocks continued to close a gap with larger counterparts as the Russell 2000® Index (RUT) jumped nearly 2% to a 16-month high.
The S&P 500 ended within 28.19 points, or 0.6% of its record-closing high of 4,796.56, posted on January 3, 2022, the first trading day of that year. Here's where the major benchmarks ended:
The S&P 500 index was up 27.81 points (0.6%) at 4,768.37; the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 251.90 points (0.7%) at 37,557.92; the Nasdaq Composite® (COMP) was up 98.03 points (0.7%) at 15,003.22.
US Steel is turning Japanese in a $14.1 billion deal. US Steel, once the world’s largest company and a symbol of US manufacturing might that counts J.P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie among its founders, has agreed to be bought by Japan’s Nippon Steel. The deal ends months of speculation over the 122-year-old steel company’s fate after it rebuffed a $7.3 billion offer from domestic rival Cleveland-Cliffs over the summer. Assuming regulators and US Steel’s shareholders sign off on the purchase, it would make Nippon the second-biggest steel company globally and give it a major presence in the US market, which uses a lot of steel, especially to make cars.
Nikola's founder gets four years for fraud. Trevor Milton was sentenced to four years in prison yesterday after having been found guilty of defrauding investors in the electric vehicle company he founded. While that’s less than the Elizabeth Holmes-level, 11-year sentence prosecutors had pushed for, it’s more than the probation he requested. Nikola was briefly the third-most-valuable vehicle company in the US, but its value plunged when a short seller accused the company of lying about its tech. Prosecutors agreed and claimed Milton fibbed about the company’s progress, including in an infamous video that purported to show one of its trucks operational and moving when it was really just rolled down a hill.
A volcano erupted on Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula yesterday near a town that was evacuated last month after a series of earthquakes signaled an eruption was coming. The government said the volcanic activity was the most powerful the area had seen since a major disaster in the 1970s.
