Dear Readers,

Stocks are edging up on Friday, with the Dow attempting to consolidate above the key 40,000-point level it briefly reached during the previous trading session.

The focus remains on rates and inflation, as investors analyze upcoming economic data and comments from Federal Reserve officials for any impact on rate expectations.

The direction of rate forecasts in the coming days and weeks will be crucial for stocks, as major indexes hover near record highs.

While it may not take much for the Dow to surpass the 40,000 milestone, it might not happen immediately. Similarly, in March 1999, the Dow hit the 10,000-point mark seven times intraday before closing above it later that month.

As of 12:11 PM ET, the Dow was up 35.9023 points, or 0.09%, at $39905.28. The Nasdaq Composite added 0.1895 points, or 0.001%, at $18558.154. The S&P 500 rose 0.98 points, or 0.0185%, at $5298.08. Among the 11 major S&P 500 sectors, 7 showed negative movement, with Information Technology leading the way with a 0.71% decrease.
