US stocks today ended with a mixed but mostly positive session. S&P 500 aur Nasdaq dono ne record closing highs banaye. Yeh rally mainly AI-linked tech aur chip stocks ki wajah se aayi. Lekin ek problem bhi hai — ek hot inflation report ne rate cut ki umeedein khatam kar di hain.

S&P 500, Nasdaq record close — chips ka dabaadum

US stock market today dekhne mein aaya ki S&P 500 aur Nasdaq dono ne naye record closing highs touch kiye. Iski sabse badi wajah chip stocks rahe. AI-linked companies aur semiconductor shares mein strong buying dekhi gayi. Is rally ne overall market ko boost diya, lekin sab kuch positive nahi tha.

Hot inflation report — rate cut hopes crushed

Jahan ek taraf stocks record levels par the, wahan doosri taraf ek hot inflation report ne sabki umeedein tod di. Producer prices (wholesale inflation) mein unexpected surge aaya. Yeh data expectations se zyada tha. Iska matlab yeh hai ki Federal Reserve ko interest rates kam karne mein aur delay karna padega. Market mein jo rate cut ki umeed thi, woh ab almost khatam ho gayi hai.

Fed tightening aur geopolitical risks

Is inflation data ne Fed ke prolonged tightening ke expectations ko aur strong kar diya. Ab lagta hai ki Fed apni policy mein koi jaldbaazi nahi karega. Iske alawa, markets ne Trump-Xi talks aur rising geopolitical risks ko bhi track kiya. Yeh dono factors market ke mood ko impact kar rahe hain. Morgan Stanley ne apna S&P target bhi lift kiya hai, jo ek positive signal hai.

Hamaari Baat: Do taraf ki kahani

Hamari nazar mein, aaj ka US stock market ek do taraf ki kahani hai. Ek taraf chip stocks ki strong rally ne S&P 500 aur Nasdaq ko record levels tak pahunchaya. Lekin doosri taraf, hot inflation ne rate cut ki umeedein khatam kar di. Yeh market ke liye ek warning hai — agar inflation high rahega, toh Fed tight rahega aur stocks ke liye aage ka raasta mushkil ho sakta hai. Investors ko ab careful rehne ki zaroorat hai.
