Fundamental analysis:
The S&P 500 index closed up 9.22 points, or 0.23%, at 4069.65 points on Friday, January 27; the U.S. core PCE price index recorded an annual rate of 4.4% in December, slowing to the slowest annual growth rate in more than a year. This, along with a drop in consumer spending, confirmed expectations that policymakers will further slow the pace of rate hikes. The U.S. PCE price index recorded an annual rate of 5% in December, still well above the Fed's 2% target, but both are the slowest growth rates since late 2021.
