U.S. Stock Market Surges on Fed Rate Cut Hopes Amid Cooling Labor Data and Tech Gains

2025-08-04 @ 23:00

U.S. stocks rebounded strongly on Monday, with major indices recovering from Friday’s sharp declines. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones both advanced by around 1%, while the Nasdaq outperformed with a notable 1.7% gain. This renewed momentum came as investors grew increasingly confident that the Federal Reserve may soon cut interest rates, a move that markets are now eager to see following signs of a cooling labor market and concerns over rising tariffs.

Last week’s sell-off was driven by a reassessment of the U.S. labor market after revised payroll data painted a less robust employment picture. This shift in sentiment has led to heightened expectations of rate cuts, as weaker job data combined with mounting government deficit spending has raised worries about the broader economic outlook. The possibility of easier monetary policy has provided a welcome tailwind for equities, particularly in rate-sensitive sectors like technology.

Among individual stocks, technology leaders showed impressive gains. Apple, Amazon, and Nvidia each climbed more than 1%, while Palantir Technologies jumped 4% ahead of its earnings announcement. On the other hand, Berkshire Hathaway shares slipped by 3% following its weekend earnings release. The market’s focus now turns to a busy week of earnings reports and the upcoming announcement of a new Federal Reserve chair, which could further influence investor sentiment.

Monday’s gains showcase the market’s resilience and its reliance on expectations of supportive Fed policy. With futures markets now heavily betting on a rate cut at the Fed’s next meeting, attention will center on central bank commentary and economic data releases in the coming days. Investors will be watching closely for developments that could shape the path of both interest rates and the stock market for the remainder of the year.
