Stock Market Today: Stocks Edge Higer with Tech Leading Gains

by
June 5, 2024

U.S. stocks edged higher this Wednesday, boosted by growing optimism for a potential shift in Federal Reserve policy. The tech sector led the charge, with the Nasdaq Composite outperforming with a gain of around 1.4% during this morning’s trading.

Technology stocks continued their strong performance. Chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) extended its rally, reaching a new intraday high earlier today. Social media giant Meta (META) and Alphabet (GOOGL) also saw gains.

Fed Policy Shift in View?

Investor sentiment was influenced by recent economic data suggesting a potential slowdown. Job openings data released Tuesday showed a decline, and the ADP private payrolls report for May came in lower than expected.

This data fuels speculation that the Fed might cut interest rates in the near future. The CME FedWatch tool shows a significant increase in the number of traders expecting a rate cut at the September meeting, compared to just a week ago. However, some analysts remain cautious, as the slowdown could also indicate a broader economic recession on the horizon.

AI Growth Spurs HPE

Outside the tech sector, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is a standout performer. The company's stock surged earlier today following a revenue beat driven by strong sales of AI-focused servers, showing the continued investor interest in artificial intelligence.

While AI remains a hot topic, some industry leaders are urging caution. Experts warn that AI investments might be inflated and could see a correction, with some startups potentially losing value. They believe the transformative impact of AI will take longer than many currently anticipate.

Focus on Jobs Report

Investors are closely watching the key monthly jobs report scheduled for release on Friday for more clues on the state of the labor market and the Fed's potential policy response. Although hopes for a rate cut are driving the market gains, concerns about a broader economic slowdown remain.
