Stocks rise as rate-hike expectations cool and AI optimism lifts demand
The market move is tied to an easing in rate-hike expectations alongside renewed enthusiasm for AI-related themes.
US stocks climbed as investors leaned into AI optimism while rate-hike expectations receded, a combination supporting risk appetite, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The same shift showed up in US Treasury markets, where yields dipped alongside the equity rally.
