Market Rally Continues
The stock market is experiencing a resurgence today, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures trading higher.

The potential for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in the near future is a key factor driving investor sentiment.
Economic Indicators
Positive economic data is also contributing to the market's positive trajectory. Mortgage rates have dropped to their lowest point in over a year, which could stimulate home buying activity. However, the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions will continue to be closely watched by investors and businesses alike.
