Wall Street kept the rally alive this week, with U.S. stocks breaking into fresh record territory. Optimism is building that the Fed could finally cut rates in September after steady inflation data gave traders some breathing room. Geopolitical tensions and fiscal worries are still on the radar, but clearly not slowing down the momentum.

It is important to remember to assess your financial situation and risk tolerance, before engaging in copy trading. Past performance and forecast are not reliable indicators of future results.

Tech-Led Rally Sends U.S. Stocks Soaring
This week, global markets proved they can handle a lot at once. U.S. stocks hit fresh record highs, powered by optimism that the Fed might cut rates in September. Commodities were mixed—gold stabilized after early gains, while oil bounced around with supply and demand shifts. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar slipped slightly as traders priced in potential monetary easing.

Record Highs Amid Uncertainty
U.S. stocks climbed to new record highs this week, led by a strong tech sector and growing expectations of potential rate cuts. The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all posted gains, showing that investor confidence is holding strong despite trade tensions and mixed economic signals. Mega-cap tech stocks were the main drivers, keeping the rally momentum alive.

Gold and Commodities in Focus
Commodity markets had a mixed week. Crude oil dipped on rising production and hopes for easing geopolitical tensions, though new sanctions and trade threats offered occasional support. Gold saw volatility too—early gains from a weaker dollar and geopolitical worries faded toward the end of the week. Still, gold remains a key focus for traders, often seen as a hedge against political uncertainty and shifting economic policies.

Currency pairs like EUR/USD and GBP/USD saw increased swings, with the euro testing higher levels and the pound facing pressure from economic data. These moves highlight how sensitive the forex market is to expectations around monetary policy.
