00:00Wall Street just shattered records on October 24, 2025. The Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq
00:08all reached new all-time highs as softer-than-expected inflation data fueled optimism across global
00:16markets. Investors are now speculating that the Federal Reserve may soon pivot toward interest
00:22rate cuts, a move that could reshape the U.S. economy heading into 2025. U.S. stocks closed the
00:30week on a strong upswing after the Consumer Price Index, or CPI, reports showed inflation rising just
00:383.0% year-over-year in September, slightly below analysts' forecasts of 3.1%. Core inflation,
00:48excluding food and energy, also moderated at 3.0%, signaling that price pressures may be easing
00:56without derailing economic growth. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surpassed 47,000 points for
01:04the first time, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also posted record closes, reflecting
01:11robust investor confidence. Tech giants including Apple, NVIDIA, and Microsoft led the rally with
01:20support from financial and energy sectors. Treasury yields stabilized near 4.0% and the U.S. dollar
01:28remained mostly flat, highlighting steady conditions in broader markets. Analysts described the session
01:35as a relief rally, driven by expectations that the Fed may implement its first rate cut in years,
01:43possibly followed by additional easing later in 2025. Market experts believe this historic rally could
01:51signal the start of a new bull phase as easing inflation, strong corporate earnings, and consumer
01:57resilience combine to sustain Wall Street's momentum into the final months of 2025.
