US Stock market wraps higher as late session rally pushed to fresh new record highs

The US stocks went all out on the last part of the session with majority setting new records with the support of the data about corporate profits and improving economic activity, along with the monetary and fiscal policy market backing up the movement.

The Federal Reserve finally shown indicators that changes are needed, implying that adjustments are to be done on the current asset purchase program which is at $120 billion per month. They wanted to create an opportunity to affect further progress in their goal which is price stability and maximum employment before pulling back to standard levels, which makes traders and investors wonder on what kind of changes would actually fit this requirement.

The labor market report shows that there are 7 million vacant positions to be filled up to match pre-pandemic levels even though the US economy has already shown great improvement recently. Another thing to consider is the price hike of consumer and producer prices, although these changes are expected to be short-term ones.

Strategies are saying that since the economy’s performance is upward, most of the stocks that are performing well, namely value and cyclical stocks, are bound to keep their strength and momentum.
