US500 analysis: low inflation pushes the quotes up
The US500Cash stock index has reached a new all-time high for the 29th time since the beginning of 2024, with the current instrument price standing at 5432.4.
US consumer inflation data was released last week, and the Federal Reserve maintained the key rate within the range of 5.25-5.50%. However, the regulator raised its forecast for this indicator.
The markets ignored the harsh rhetoric and continued their growth. Investors will likely be encouraged by an optimistic US inflation report. The consumer price index was 3.30% year-on-year, lower than market analysts expected but still far from the US Federal Reserve’s target of 2.00%.

The technology sector’s weighting in the US500 index reached 34% at the peak of the dot-com bubble in 2000. Nowadays, this figure stands at 33%. It is enough for a company to announce that it plans to develop in the artificial intelligence sphere for its stock to start rising.
