The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared 846 points Friday, reaching another record. The S&P 500 jumped 1.5%, landing just below the all-time high it set last week. The Nasdaq composite climbed 1.9%. Treasury yields sank in the bond market after Jerome Powell indicated the next move for the Fed may be a cut. Wall Street loves lower rates because they can give a boost to the economy and to investment prices, even if they risk worsening inflation.
