The S&P 500 has closed at a record high of 7,165.08, marking a significant recovery with an increase of $7.6 trillion in market value since March 30, 2023. This surge is largely driven by strong performances in technology stocks, particularly Intel, which saw a remarkable 23.6% increase after exceeding earnings expectations. The Nasdaq Composite also hit a new all-time high, closing at 24,836.60, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 0.16%. Positive news regarding potential peace talks between the U.S. and Iran, along with a ceasefire extension between Israel and Lebanon, contributed to the market's upward momentum. Despite ongoing global tensions, analysts suggest that investors are prioritizing long-term economic fundamentals over short-term conflict risks. The overall weekly performance showed mixed results, with the S&P 500 up 0.6% and the Nasdaq up 1.5%, while the Dow decreased by 0.4%.
