  • Hey, listeners, it's Saturday, May 30th.

  • I'm Imani Moise 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 dive in.

  • Stocks continued their historic march higher as Wall Street's appetite for AI showed few signs of slowing.

  • All three major indexes ended the week at record highs,

  • and the S&P has now risen nine consecutive weeks, the longest winning streak since 2023. Investors

  • are paying historically high prices relative to corporate earnings, a dynamic not seen since the dot-com boom.

  • The last time investors were willing to pay these kinds of prices

  • was around the market peak in 2000. So far, investors are still buying.

  • The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the way, rising just under 2.4% for the week.

  • The S&P 500 grew 1.4%, and the Dow increased 0.9%.
