Wall Street had itself a very good week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average popped 2% for its biggest weekly gain of 2024. That gain drove the 30-stock benchmark to an all-time high, putting it within striking distance of 40,000. The S & P 500 and Nasdaq Composite popped 2.3% and 2.9%, respectively, to record levels. Fed Chair Jerome Powell also noted that a strong labor market wouldn't deter the central bank from cutting rates.
