NYSE<\/p>\n

Stock futures are near flat Thursday night following a winning session that sent indexes to new records as the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates set in investors’ minds.<\/p>\n

Futures<\/a> tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 80 points, or nearly 0.2%. S&P 500 futures<\/a> and Nasdaq 100 futures<\/a> each also rose 0.1%.<\/p>\n

The three major averages closed<\/a> at all-time highs and notched fresh intraday records on Thursday. Notably, the small cap-focused Russell 2000<\/a> surged 2.5%, ending the session at a record for the first time since 2021.<\/p>\n

“The market is being held afloat by the earnings numbers,” said Aswath Damodaran, a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, on CNBC’s “Closing Bell.”<\/a> “As long as the earnings numbers keep coming in, there is no catalyst for an adjustment.”<\/p>\n

“It’s not just Big Tech. It’s not just tech,” he added. “It’s collectively all stocks.”<\/p>\n

Thursday’s moves come a day after the Fed cut interest rates<\/a> for the first time this year. Stocks had a volatile session on Wednesday as investors initially reacted to the central bank’s decision and its economic projections.<\/p>\n

With Thursday’s gains, the Dow and S&P 500 are both on track to finish the week 0.7% higher. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has climbed 1.5%, while the Russell 2000 has jumped nearly 3%.<\/p>\n

There are no economic reports or major earnings reports scheduled for Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A trader works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Sept. 18, 2025.
