Wall Street Soars: Tesla and Amazon Spearhead Market Rally amid Fed Rate Cut Speculations

Wall Street enjoyed a bullish run with the Dow closing at a record high, driven by gains in Tesla and Amazon. Positive U.S. economic data has fueled speculation of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also saw significant advances, with several stocks reaching new highs.

Wall Street stocks climbed on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching a new all-time closing high for the second consecutive day.
