US stocks soared, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing above the 42,000 level for the first time amid growing optimism that the Federal Reserve's jumbo interest rate cut will deliver a "soft landing" for the US economy. The S&P 500 climbed roughly 1.7%, while the Dow rose more than 1.2%, with both indexes trading at record highs. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite led the gains, up roughly 2.5%.
