US Stocks Hit Record Highs, S&P 500 Breaks 6,900
Market Recap
US stocks continued their record-setting streak on Tuesday, with all three major indexes closing higher for a third straight session. The S&P 500 briefly topped 6,900 for the first time before settling just below that milestone. Investor attention remains focused on Big Tech earnings, the Fed’s rate decision, and US–China trade progress.
Reports from Xinhua confirmed that US and Chinese trade officials met in Kuala Lumpur, where both sides discussed constructive solutions and reached preliminary consensus on several key issues. Optimism over potential progress helped sustain market momentum.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve began its two-day policy meeting, with markets largely expecting a second rate cut this year. Traders are also looking for signals of another potential move in December amid softening labor data.
Due to the ongoing US government shutdown, the Fed is operating with limited official data. ADP’s newly introduced four-week average employment tracker showed moderate labor market growth as of mid-October.
