It’s 1:30 PM, and the index is up by 0.9%, hovering around the new record of 2,662 points. This marks the first time since September of last year that an all-time high has been reached. Since the beginning of the year, the large-cap index has climbed by 7%.
In Europe, the Stoxx Europe 600 index is also on track to set a new record on Wednesday. Market observers believe that the markets are breathing a sigh of relief after the recent inauguration of Donald Trump.
"There was a sense of relief that we didn’t immediately see the expected tariffs from day one," said Corinne Lord, an investment specialist at St. James Place Management, in an interview with Bloomberg. "The question now is to what extent we will actually see those tariffs compared to what he has promised. There is still a lot of nervousness about what lies ahead."
Several stocks are reaching their highest levels in a year on Wednesday, as reported by Finwire. Companies such as Swedbank, Truecaller, Skanska, NCC, Avanza, Embracer, Ericsson, Investor, and Handelsbanken are among those experiencing significant gains.
