S&P 500 set for a record as yields retreat

The rise is tied to renewed AI enthusiasm and a pullback in expectations for further rate hikes, supporting risk appetite.

The Wall Street Journal Markets reports that US stocks were positioned for another push higher, with the S&P 500 heading toward a record as bond yields eased.

According to the outlet, AI enthusiasm and receding expectations for additional rate hikes are helping lift market sentiment.

The combination is keeping investors focused on a more supportive rate backdrop, which typically favors equities when yields move lower.
