The S&amp;P 500 briefly cross 6,000 for the first time, while the Dow topped 44,000 during the day, also a first as <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-replace-intel-dow-jones-industrial-average-2024-11">Nvidia replaced Intel</a> in the index. On Thursday, traders had more to cheer with the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates again by 25 basis points.

"The Trump rally isn't over with stocks reaching fresh all-time highs as investors look ahead to tax cuts, deregulation. and Made in America policies to power future gains. Market participants are also catching a tailwind from a dovish Federal Reserve," said José Torres, senior economist at Interactive Brokers.Also helping push stocks to record this week were solid earnings, with third-quarter results starting to wrap up.So far, 90% of S&amp;P 500 companies have reported earnings results. According to Fundstrat data, 77% of those companies beat profit estimates by a median of 6%, while 59% beat revenue estimates by a median of 6%.Investors will turn their attention to inflation data next week, with the October consumer price index set to be released on Wednesday and the October producer price index set to be released on Thursday.Here's where US indexes stood at the 4:00 p.m. closing bell on Friday:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/s&amp;p_500?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">S&amp;P 500</a>: 5,995.54, up 0.38% </li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/dow_jones?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Dow Jones Industrial Average</a>: 43,988.99, up 0.59% (+259.65 points)</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/nasdaq_composite?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Nasdaq composite</a>: 19,286.78, up 0.09%</li></ul>Here's what else happened today:<ul><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/tesla-stock-price-trillion-valuation-donald-trump-election-win-tsla-2024-11">Tesla stock surged 7% to hit a $1 trillion market cap on Friday for the first time since April 2022.</a></li><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/clean-energy-stocks-short-sellers-trump-us-election-renewables-evs-2024-11">Traders betting against clean-energy stocks have made $1.3 billion since Trump's election win.</a></li><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/big-tech-winners-losers-trump-election-win-according-to-market-2024-11">Here are mega-cap tech's winners and losers from Trump's election win, according to the stock market.</a></li><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-tariffs-threats-world-ceos-thoughts-trade-2024-11">CEOs worldwide are already talking about the potential impact of tariffs on their businesses.</a></li><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/polymarket-whale-banked-85-million-profit-trump-president-election-win-2024-11">The Polymarket 'whale' actually made $85 million on his Trump election bet, nearly double than originally thought.</a></li></ul>In commodities, bonds, and crypto:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/oil-price">West Texas Intermediate</a> crude oil declined 2.52% to $70.54 a barrel. <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/oil-price">Brent crude</a>, the international benchmark, was lower by 2.09% to $74.05 a barrel.</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/gold-price">Gold</a> dropped 0.40% to $2,695.10 an ounce.</li><li>The 10-year Treasury yield declined 3 basis points to 4.313%.</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/btc-usd">Bitcoin</a> gained 0.94% to $76,636.</li></ul>

Stock market today: Indexes end the week at records as investors cheer Trump's victory

<ul class="summary-list"><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/tsla-stock">Tesla</a> stock has surged since the company reported earnings on Wednesday.</li><li>Wall Street analysts broke down the factors they believe are fueling the rally.</li></ul>Tesla's stock price has been on a tear in the two days since the carmaker reported quarterly earnings that exceeded expectations.The stock regained the ground it lost following Tesla's <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-robotaxi-event-cybercab-elon-musk-2024-10">"We, Robot"</a> event on October 10, during which Elon Musk showed off the Cybercab. He was lighter on launch specifics than some on Wall Street wanted, and the stock fell 9% the following day.Two weeks later, Tesla closed the week with a share price of $269.19 on Friday — its highest since September 2023. The stock is now up 8.33% since the start of the year.AvaTrade's chief market analyst, Kate Leaman, told BI that Tesla's earnings were a "surprise beat, which always gives the stock a push."Tesla announced better-than-expected profit and gross margin, a closely watched number. It also announced the <a target="_blank" rel="" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cybertruck-profit-2024-10">Cybertruck hit profitability</a> and said it was on track to start production for more affordable EVs in the first half of 2025.Jacob Bourne, an analyst at Emarketer, a sister company to Business Insider, said Tesla's strong results were not expected and "the biggest factor" behind the stock surge is "the surprise element." Ahead of the earnings report, analysts had concerns about waning EV demand and the impact of Tesla's price cuts on its profitability.RBC Capital Markets analyst Tom Narayan said: "Low and behold this company is able to still be profitable even with price cutting."Dan Ives, a Tesla bull and an analyst at Wedbush Securities, called Tesla's earnings figures a "Goldilocks quarter."Emarketer's Bourne said questions about Tesla's Cybercab robotaxi were a factor that contributed to uncertainty ahead of its earnings report. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-america-super-pac-trump-turn-out-voters-2024-10">Musk's political activism was another,</a> Bourne said.Global Equities analyst Trip Chowdhry told BI that there had been questions about whether some people would stop buying Teslas because of Musk's support for former President Donald Trump."The negative narrative was proven to be 100% wrong," Chowdhry said.Narayan said while Tesla didn't unveil a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-halts-gigacasting-blow-to-cheaper-evs-report-2024-5">lower-price vehicle</a> in the earnings report or announce regulatory approval for fully autonomous rides, the company did provide some concrete answers to lingering questions from the Cybercab event.Musk said he expected the company's robotaxi service would gain regulatory approval in Texas and California next year and that Tesla employees in the Bay Area already were testing the ride-hailing service with the development app.For Musk, the stock rally boosted his net worth to over a quarter trillion dollars.The Tesla CEO's net worth was $277 billion at market close on Friday, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/elon-r-musk/">according</a> to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index.

Tesla ends the week on a high fueled by earnings 'surprise'

<ul class="summary-list"><li>US stocks raced to record highs after the 2024 presidential election concluded.</li><li>Investors seem certain that President-elect Donald Trump's policies are best for stocks.</li></ul>Wall Street is in love with Donald Trump, as if there was ever any doubt.A robust, multi-year bull market rally for US stocks reached another gear after the businessman-turned-politician <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-wins-presidential-election-race-2024-11">won the presidential election</a>. The S&amp;P 500 just topped 6,000 for the first time ever, and the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite is also in uncharted territory.Traders are convinced that the bulk of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-election-victory-impact-investments-costs-housing-taxes-childcare-2024-11">Trump's economic policies</a>, which include tax cuts and fewer government regulations, will create a business-friendly backdrop that drives stocks higher."Investor sentiment is pro-growth, pro-deregulation, and pro-markets," said David Bahnsen, the chief investment officer at The Bahnsen Group, in recent commentary sent to Business Insider.<h2 id="3e5bdf8a-fc97-4e3d-a950-f23703f0015e">'Animal spirits' have been unleashed</h2>While some are skeptical of the consensus view, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-market-outlook-trump-president-economy-tariffs-trade-war-kelly-2024-11">including those who are terrified about tariffs</a>, it looks as if investors broadly are scrambling to add exposure to equities. A staggering $22 billion flowed into exchange-traded funds on Wednesday, which was more than four times higher than the previous record for the day after the US election, according to State Street Global Advisors.Markets may hate uncertainty even more than tax hikes, so it's possible that a Kamala Harris win also could have sparked a relief rally.But that might dismiss how ecstatic big-money investors are about another Trump term, given that the S&amp;P 500 rose over 50% from his victory in 2016 until shortly before the pandemic."Business animal spirits could be rekindled once again from Trump's pro-business approach, which could lead to a more robust capital expenditures and investment environment," said Jeff Schulze, the head of economic and market strategy at ClearBridge Investments, in commentary.That term, "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/animal-spirits.asp">animal spirits,</a>" was coined in the 1930s by famed economist John Maynard Keynes, who remarked that investors' decisions are often driven by intense emotions like greed and fear.Anthony Saglimbene, Ameriprise's chief market strategist, borrowed Keynes' famous phrase to make the same point as Schulze: investors may be euphoric for the foreseeable future."Animal spirits through year-end could push major averages higher as the overhang of the election is removed and investors look to put excess cash to work in stocks," Saglimbene said in commentary.<h2 id="648d2368-71e0-40ed-9ed5-95b7faf9578c">How to invest after Trump's win</h2>Although the US economy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/economy-outlook-tariffs-trump-trade-war-slowdown-jpmorgan-david-kelly-2024-10">looks healthy by most measures</a>, many market strategists are counting on an even bigger boom under Trump that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stocks-to-buy-election-investing-strategy-2016-comparison-morgan-stanley-2024-11">would benefit economically sensitive stocks</a>."This broad 'risk-on' mood for the U.S. stock market is cutting across all sectors, but particularly favoring more cyclically sensitive sectors that would benefit from a re-strengthening of the economy and tailwinds to corporate profitability," said Jim Baird, the chief investment officer at Plante Moran Financial Advisors, in written commentary sent to BI.Sectors that are heavily reliant on economic growth, like energy and financials, will stay hot, said Sébastien Page, the head of global multi-asset at T. Rowe Price, in a recent interview."I don't think it's over the top," Page said of the postelection market rally.Several of the strategists and investment chiefs that Business Insider leaned on for this story also cited small caps as a top idea, provided that the economy stays strong and taxes fall."Enough people had been worried about, 'Could we have a credit cycle? Could we have an economic slowdown into next year? What would increases in taxes and regulation do?'" said Sean Gallagher, the global head of Lazard's small-cap equity platform, in an interview.He continued: "Now that's off the table. I think it just increases small-business optimism. I think it'll increase <a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capitalexpenditure.asp">CapEx</a>, which has been kind of held back."Smaller companies performed admirably early on in Trump's first tenure, though <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cheap-stocks-to-buy-strong-growth-market-outlook-garp-bmo-2024-10">they've lagged large caps for years</a>. Gallagher is highly optimistic about the group again, both because of the economic environment and their valuations, which are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stocks-to-buy-small-mid-caps-market-rotation-outlook-bmo-2024-10">startlingly cheap relative to their peers</a>.Schulze from ClearBridge is also aboard the cyclical and small caps train. The strategist is fired up about what Trump's penchant for lower taxes and limited regulations means for industrials, consumer discretionary stocks, and financials.Saglimbene from Ameriprise concurred again that "the backdrop for financials could improve, as less regulation and the potential for merger/acquisition and capital market activity accelerate."Add the technology sector to the list of winners from less governmental oversight, Bahnsen said. Tech companies seem like a clearer beneficiary since the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) should be less hostile to their interests.For all the optimism in markets, some strategists are branching out from stocks.Jim Thorne, who's the chief market strategist at Canada-based wealth management firm Wellington-Altus, said in commentary that he's most interested in gold and bitcoin, which some have referred to as the yellow metal's digital doppelgänger.The world is awash with cash, making scarce assets like gold and bitcoin more valuable, and Thorne also noted that global economic growth is slowing. That suggests that the path forward for risk assets may not be smooth — even if Trump is successful in his second term."Investors should brace for volatility and shifts in market leadership as we transition to a peacetime economy, shaped by Trump's policies," Thorne said in written commentary.

Maruti Suzuki India stock hits 52-week high after robust Q1 results

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Netflix's stock hit a record high this week for the first time since the pandemic.</li><li>The stock is rising as shares of competing streamers struggle.</li></ul>The streaming war is a crowded conflict, but investors think they see a winner in Netflix this week.Shares of the streaming giant closed at an all-time high of $698.54 on Tuesday. The stock extended gains slightly in Wednesday's session to about $698.82 as of 2:53 p.m. ET.The stock is up 44% year-to-date in a huge reversal after crashing by more than 75% from its pandemic peak in 2022.Meanwhile, investors are turning away from other media companies that operate streaming services as they struggle to make a profit with their offerings. Year-to-date, shares of Paramount and Warner Bros. have fallen 25% and 33%, respectively, while Disney's stock has remained level.So why are investors pushing Netflix to fresh highs this week?Kickstarting the gains on Tuesday was an announcement in <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-closes-successful-upfront-and-expands-advertiser-capabilities">a blog post</a> from Netflix stating that it continues to see growth in ad sales. The company has seen a 150% rise in upfront ad sale commitments compared to 2023, the blog said. The streaming giant said those deals are a result of the highly-anticipated new seasons of shows like Bridgerton, Squid Game, and Emily in Paris, plus its Christmas Day NFL games.Netflix announced a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/netflix-nfl-football-streaming-deal-explained-peter-kafka-2024-5">three-year deal with the NFL</a> back in May, which will let it show two NFL games on Christmas this year and one or more games on the holiday in 2025 and 2026.In addition to strong demand from advertisers, Netflix's expansion into live sports could give the platform a value add to justify raising subscription prices, analysts say."We view the venture into NFL games (at just ~2% of annual content spend) as a significant Q4 subscriber driver, creating a further tailwind to NFLX's password sharing initiative and supporting a price hike," Jefferies analyst James Heaney said in a client note.And earlier this month, Disney announced <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/disney-streaming-profitable-price-hike-earnings-2024-8#:~:text=On%20Tuesday%2C%20the%20company%20announced,is%20a%20Netflix%20board%20member.">plans to raise prices</a> for its Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ subscription tiers this fall, which could make Netflix more likely to follow suit.Both developments could help customers justify a higher price for Netflix, Heaney said.The stock has been steadily rising before this week, though, too. Shares are up nearly 10% in the last month following the company's strong second-quarter earnings report on July 18. The report showed user growth surpassed expectations, with Netflix gaining over 8 million new subscribers for the quarter amid a crackdown on password sharing. Revenue grew 17% in the quarter.Analysts said they see the company's upside as a result of moderating competition as other streaming companies focus on profits rather than growth."Over the past year, we have seen a normalization of the 'streaming wars' with various services/companies focusing on cost structure and with that, a return to licensing out content and focusing on existing markets," analysts from Goldman Sachs said in a note before Netflix's latest earnings.Disclosure: Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Business Insider's parent company, Axel Springer, is a Netflix board member.

Netflix stock is cruising at record highs this week. Here's why Wall Street is cheering on the streaming giant.

"The focus is totally on the Fed action and Fed speak of Sep 18th.

The Indian stock markets hit a record-breaking milestone on Thursday, with both Sensex and Nifty closing at record highs. This surge was driven by broad-based buying across sectors, reflecting strong investor confidence and robust market sentiment. The Sensex skyrocketed by 1,439.55 points to close at 82,962.71, while the Nifty surged by 395.40 points, closing at 25,313.85 points.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Palantir stock surged 13% after it was announced that the stock will be added to the S&amp;P 500 index on September 23.</li><li>The defense-focused software company, valued at $75 billion, will replace American Airlines Group.</li></ul><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/pltr-stock">Palantir stock</a> soared as much as 13% on Monday after it was announced that the company will soon be added to the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/s&amp;p_500">S&amp;P 500</a> index.With a market valuation of about $75 billion, the software company that counts the US government as its largest customer is replacing <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/aal-stock">American Airlines Group</a>, which has seen its market valuation tumble 22% to just $7 billion over the past year.The changes to the index are set to go into effect on September 23.Palantir stock traded at a new 52-week high, hitting an intra-day peak of $34.13 on Moday.That's the highest level Palantir stock has traded at since February 2021, which ultimately marked the peak for high-growth tech stocks before a painful bear market unfolded in 2022.Palantir's addition to the S&amp;P 500 marks an important milestone for the company as it tries to convince investors of its growth story since going public in September 2020. Importantly, Palantir has <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/palantir-karp-q1-usa-growth-international-headwinds-europe-israel-support-2024-5">finally flipped on its profit switch.</a>Since its IPO, the company has tripled its trailing 12-month revenue to $2.48 billion, increased its quarterly free cash flow from -$308 million to almost $700 million, and notched four consecutive quarters of positive net income, according to data from YCharts.That last stat is the most important, as consistent profits are a requirement for inclusion into the S&amp;P 500 index.Palantir has convinced Wall Street that its growth can continue as it focuses more on its AI capabilities. Bank of America reiterated the stock as a "Buy" in a note last month."As it was with the gold rush, the real benefactors were the entrepreneurs that supported the rush. This is where we continue to see PLTR's ultimate benefactor - the entrepreneur - the digital axe supplier that is still standing tall now that the AI tourists have started to depart," Bank of America said.The bank added: "PLTR is well-positioned as enriched data, connectivity, and interoperability are what define the new era of defense."Palantir stock is less than 3% away from closing at a new weekly and monthly high.
