Wall Street turns bullish as corporate profits lift the S&P 500

The S&P 500 is trading near another record, as booming corporate profits are reducing investors’ focus on risks like the war and inflation.

The New York Times Business reports that Wall Street sentiment has turned more bullish, driven by booming corporate profits.

The outlet says the S&P 500 is moving near another record, which has helped dampen investor concerns about the war and inflation.

While the market narrative includes still-active worries, the article emphasizes that profit strength is currently doing most of the heavy lifting for equities sentiment.
