Market
Market at the close:
For the archives -- what's going on that affected the market today:
- some tech stocks reported great earnings; GOOG announces a dividend for the first time;
- personal consumption expenditures "index" seems to be plateauing in the 2.8 - 3.0% range; possibly increasing
- GDP estimate, GDPNow, for 2Q24, jumped from 1.6% actual 1Q24 to 3.9% estimate 2Q24
- relatively quiet in the Mideast; though more and more it appears that Israel is yet to move into southern Palestine (Rafah) to clear out Hamas
- analysts pretty much agree that any "rate cut" in 2024 is getting less and less likely
