I'm Francesca Fontana for The Wall Street Journal, and this is What's News in Markets,
our look at the biggest stock moves of the week and the news that drove them.
Let's get to it.
Well, the stock market had a record-breaking week this week,
fueled by renewed optimism about the AI boom and growing confidence in interest rate cuts on the horizon.
What records were broken, you may ask?
Well, let's go through the latest hot streak.
Monday, the NASDAQ hit a new record.
Tuesday, for the first time this year, all three major benchmarks closed at an all-time high.
Wednesday,
a breakneck rally and shares of software giant Oracle helped power the S&P 500 to another record.
And I'll come back to what was fueling that rally in a second.
Thursday, the Dow surpassed 46,000 for the first time on record.
And, not for nothing, the S&P and NASDAQ both closed at all-time highs, too.
And, on Friday, the NASDAQ notched another record close, the 25th of 2025.
