Market News:

The S&P 500 clinched another record high close Wednesday in a holiday-shortened trading day as the Santa rally continued.

 

At 1:00 p.m. ET (18:00 GMT), S&P 500 was rose 0.3% to a fresh closing record of 6,932.05, and NASDAQ Composite rose 0.6%. Dow Jones Industrial Average was up xx points, or 0.2%.

U.S. stock markets closed early at 1 p.m. ET, with bond markets shutting an hour later. All markets will be closed on Thursday for Christmas Day and are set to reopen for regular trading on Friday.

 

Wall St gains on strong Q3 GDP; Nike jumps as Apple CEO Tim Cook doubles stake

Wall Street ended the regular session higher. The S&P 500 climbed about 0.5% to a record closing high, supported by gains in technology and growth stocks, while the NASDAQ Composite gained 0.6% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.2%.

 

Investors took encouragement from data showing the U.S. economy grew at a robust pace in the third quarter. Gross domestic product expanded at an annualised rate of 4.3%, surpassing expectations.

 

While the strong reading briefly pushed Treasury yields higher, equity markets appeared largely unfazed, with traders viewing the data as backward-looking and unlikely to derail the broader policy outlook.

 

Markets are also entering the period often referred to as the “Santa Claus rally,” a seasonal phenomenon describing the tendency for U.S. stocks to rise during the final five trading days of December and the first two sessions of January.

Despite the solid growth data, expectations that the Federal Reserve will eventually ease monetary policy remain largely unchanged. Interest-rate futures indicate traders still anticipate rate cuts in 2026 amid a resilient economy and sticky inflation pressures.

 

Nike Inc (NYSE:NKE), meanwhile, rose more than 4% after Apple CEO Tim Cook doubled his stake in athleisure wear brand to 105,000 shares as of Dec. 22. Cook has been on the board of Nike since 2005.

 

UiPath Inc (NYSE:PATH) was also in rally mode, rising more than 7% as the automation platform is set to be added to the S&P MidCap 400 on Jan 2, replacing Synovus Financial.
