S&P 500 Records Its Biggest Gain In Two Years, H.K. Major Indexes Open Positively


U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

U.S. stocks closed higher for a second straight day, with the S&P 500 recording its biggest one-day gain in two years, after the release of softer U.S. economic data and a smaller-than-expected rate hike by the Australian Federal Reserve stoked hopes that the Fed might be less aggressive in raising interest rates.

Tuesday’s filing with securities regulators showed that billionaire Musk proposed to go ahead and buy Twitter at the original bid of $54.20 per share, marking the end of a legal battle that was about to go to court.

That pushed Twitter shares up a sharp 22.24%, making it the biggest gainer in the S&P 500 today.

Tech giants led the gains, with Amazon climbing 4.5%, Microsoft jumped 3.38%, Apple up 2.56% and Google parent Alphabet Inc up 3.04%.

Bank stocks such as Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs climbed more than 3%.

The market rose broadly, with only six stocks in the S&P 500 falling.

Electric car maker Rivian Automotive jumped 13.8% after the company said it produced 7,363 vehicles in the third quarter, a 67% increase from the previous quarter and left its full-year production target of 25,000 unchanged.
