Wall Street rallied closer to its record highs following signs that the U.S. economy is holding up better than expected

Wall Street ticked higher after the latest update on inflation came in almost exactly as economists expected

Wall Street's main indexes opened higher on Thursday as retail sales data for July indicated resilient consumer spending, allaying fears of an imminent recession in the world's largest economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 287.3 points, or 0.72%, at the open to 40295.74.

U.S. stocks rose to one of their best days of the year as Wall Street relaxed after the first of several highly anticipated reports on the economy this week came in better than expected

Market Watch, if the market behaves between now and 2029 the same way it did during 1920, it may soar to a new height and reach the point many people can not imagine now. If the Dow Jones Industrial Average registers a growth of 0.79%, as it did in the 1920s, it may touch 150,000 in 2029. But, there are important differences between the two sets of situations as well. The decade-to-date return of the DJIA from January 2020 to August 2021, was a gain of 22.7%, in contrast to a 41.2% loss over the decade-to-date return through August 1921. If Dow Jones’s performance between May 2012 and February 2014 is superimposed on that of between 1928 and 1929, the correlation between the two series certainly looks to be remarkable. It also becomes clear that the prospect of a 1929-like crash is imminent.

US stock market indices S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq will look to shrug off volatility as investors are keeping eyes on inflation data, corporate earnings and presidential polls. Following months of placid trading, U.S. stock volatility has surged this month as a run of alarming data coincided with the unwinding of a massive, yen-fueled carry trade to deal equities their worst selloff of the year. The S&P 500 is still down around 6 per cent from a record high set last month, even after making up ground in a series of rallies after Monday’s crushing selloff.
