Stocks Rally on Strong Earnings and Fed Rate Hike Expectations
TL;DR Summary
The stock market rallied despite a weak first-quarter GDP report, as investors focused on longer-term prospects for economic growth, interest rates, and inflation. The Federal Reserve is expected to increase interest rates by a quarter percentage point next week, but markets still anticipate at least half a point worth of rate cuts before year-end and more aggressive reductions through 2024. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 500 points on Thursday.
