Barron’s linked the move to the clear‑cut data, while the Wall Street Journal noted that markets welcomed the reduced uncertainty around monetary policy. The rally comes ahead of the Fed’s policy meeting later this week and a pending retail‑sales release, events that could confirm or adjust the current rate‑hike narrative.
Analysts will watch whether the upward momentum persists after those data points, as further price moves may hinge on the central bank’s next guidance.
