The S&P 500, a key benchmark for the broader market, demonstrated resilience and growth, closing up 0.11% at 5,254.35. Similarly, the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a new milestone, adding 47.29 points to settle at 39,807.37, setting a record high. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite experienced a slight dip of 0.12%, closing at 16,379.46.
This remarkable performance underscores the strength of the market, with the S&P 500 recording its best first-quarter gain since 2019, surging by 10.2%. The Dow also showed robust growth, advancing by 5.6%, marking its strongest first-quarter performance since 2021. Likewise, the Nasdaq ended the quarter with a notable 9.1% increase.
Driving these gains were notable performers like Nvidia, a leader in the artificial intelligence sector. Nvidia's impressive performance, with an 82.5% surge for the quarter and a 14.2% gain in March alone, highlights the continued interest and momentum in innovative technologies.
Commenting on the economic landscape, Steve Halls, our lead analyst, observes, "While initial filings for unemployment insurance remained steady, upcoming economic data, including the personal consumption expenditures report, could introduce new catalysts and influence market sentiment."
