The Nasdaq and S&P 500 saw gains as Alphabet's legal victory and optimism around potential Federal Reserve rate cuts buoyed investor sentiment. While Alphabet's shares jumped, Apple's stocks also benefited from the ruling. Fed officials hinted at possible rate cuts amid easing labor conditions, pushing stock market optimism.
The Nasdaq and S&P 500 closed on a high note on Wednesday following Alphabet's significant court victory and expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut.
