Stock markets gained for the second week in a row with the Fed’s first rate cut since 2020 and strong manufacturing numbers. The S&P 500 gained 1.39% for the week, hitting its 39th all-time high of 2024.

U.S. equity markets closed out Friday with the highest weekly return of 2024 following the worst loss on the year in the week prior.

U.S. stock indexes posted some of the steepest weekly declines in more than a year, with the NASDAQ down nearly 6%, the S&P 500 falling more than 4%, and the Dow declining almost 3%.
