Wall Street Ends October on a High as Amazon, Tech Giants Drive Market Rally



US stocks closed October with strong gains, capping off a winning month fueled by robust corporate earnings and optimism over easing interest rates. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.1%, the S&P 500 gained 0.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.6%, marking another month of steady growth across Wall Street’s major indexes.

The standout performer was Amazon, whose shares surged nearly 10% to an all-time high after reporting third-quarter results that exceeded expectations. The company’s cloud division, Amazon Web Services, showed renewed momentum, easing investor concerns about slowing growth in the tech sector. This rally helped lift the broader technology space, with the Nasdaq notching its seventh consecutive monthly gain.

Other members of the so-called “Magnificent Seven” also contributed to the upbeat sentiment, as investors embraced signs that Big Tech’s heavy investments in artificial intelligence and infrastructure are beginning to pay off. The S&P 500 and Dow each recorded their sixth straight month of gains, underscoring the resilience of the broader market despite lingering global uncertainties.

Adding to the optimism, expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain a more cautious stance on interest rates provided further support. With inflation showing signs of cooling, traders are betting that the central bank will hold off on additional hikes, giving equities more room to climb.

Overall, October’s rally highlighted the market’s renewed confidence in both corporate earnings strength and the potential for a more favorable monetary policy environment. As the year heads into its final stretch, investors are watching closely to see if this momentum can carry into the holiday season.
