Benzinga examined the prospects for many investors’ favorite stocks over the last week — here’s a look at some of our top stories.
Equities soared this week, powered by a major rally on Wednesday following Donald Trump's election win. The S&P 500 gained 4.66%, with the Dow rising 4.61%—both achieving their best weeks since November 2023—while the Nasdaq outpaced them with a 5.74% increase.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) surged 30%, boosting Elon Musk's wealth, and smaller stocks outshined large caps, driven by potential trade advantages for U.S.-focused businesses.
A rate cut from the Federal Reserve to a 4.5%-4.75% range on Thursday encouraged further risk-taking, sending the Magnificent Seven's combined market cap to a new $17 trillion peak.
