US Open: US500 tests historic highs at the market open 🟢

U.S. stock indices opened today near record levels. Investor enthusiasm continues to be fueled by easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a sharp drop in oil prices. At the time of publication, the US500 is up 0.25% to 6,150 points, while the US100 gains 0.45% to 22,500 points.

Risk appetite is also evident in the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin rising 1.80% to $108,100. Meanwhile, falling energy prices have strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve may begin cutting interest rates earlier this year, although Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized a cautious, data-driven approach before any monetary policy decisions are made.

The strongest gains are seen among Big Tech companies. Optimism is more muted among smaller-cap stocks, as reflected in the accompanying infographic. The US2000 is down 0.50% today, confirming that a relatively small number of companies are driving the current rally.
