The S&P 500 closed at a record high, topping 7,800 for the first time in history, driven by a rally in AI chipmakers and a dip in US Treasury yields. This marks the index's first record since August, as investors remain optimistic despite signs of instability in the US economy.
Wall Street's benchmark index was buoyed by resilient corporate profits and the outlook for artificial intelligence-related spending. The rally is increasingly reliant on a handful of tech stocks, with traders betting that Corporate America can weather ongoing economic challenges.
