U.S. stocks have opened slightly higher on Monday, following their best week in about a year. This surge in optimism is due to the belief that the Federal Reserve may no longer raise interest rates. The latest data from FactSet reveals that the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is up by 0.3% soon after the opening bell. Similarly, the S&P 500 (SPX) has gained 0.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite (COMP) has edged up 0.3%.
Impressively, last week saw the Dow achieve its largest weekly percentage gain since October 2022, while both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq recorded their most substantial weekly jump since November 2022.
