Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500 build on records as a retail sales surprise fuels rate cut hopes

US stocks opened higher on Tuesday, as investors assessed big bank earnings and a retail sales surprise amid growing conviction an interest-rate cut is near. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose roughly 0.5% shortly after the opening bell, after the blue-chip index topped 40,000 to notch an all-time closing high. The S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite were each up more than 0.3% on the heels of their own daily wins.

More broadly, stocks are holding onto gains after chair Jerome Powell signaled the Federal Reserve is gearing up to start lowering rates soon, given recent solid inflation prints. Retail sales came in flat but better than expected in June, data out Tuesday showed, adding to the easing in price pressures that have boosted faith in a September cut — a prospect that has already wakened wider bullishness for stocks beyond techs.
