Good MorningThe S&P 500 stood tall the day before the Independence Day holiday and set a new all-time high. The market broke above a critical resistance point and set itself up to continue higher in the second half. The technical targets suggest the S&P 500 will reach 6,100 by year's end, and a higher high may be reached. The market is being driven by tech and AI, and the second half's outlook includes broadening within the market. As it is, a few key players are reaping the rewards, but more are expected to participate in the boom as AI services expand.
The highlights of the second half of 2024 will include the FOMC. The FOMC is tracking for an interest rate cut by September and possibly two by the end of the year. The risk for bulls is that the Fed is unlikely to cut much or quickly because it risks accelerating inflation. In this light, the S&P 500 can continue to rally in 2024 but may hit a ceiling early next year. Featured: Must-See: Elon's New Invention is Absolutely Insane (InvestorPlace)
