The advance extended its two-day gain to 153 points or almost 2.2 percent.Tech and speculative stocks led for a second day with heavyweight support from the materials and financial sectors. Energy stocks and defensive sectors trailled.What moved the marketMarket sentiment began to improve earlier this week with signs of progress in Ukraine-Russia peace talks. A regional rebound gained momentum yesterday when China indicated it was preparing to stimulate its economy to encourage growth.The rally really caught flight overnight after the Federal Reserve asserted the US economy was strong enough to withstand a rate increase at every meeting this year. The Fed raised its benchmark by 25 basis points and indicated it was willing to do so six more times before year-end. Wall Street was initially staggered by the news, then decided it was a vote of confidence in the economy.“The probability of a recession within the next year is not particularly elevated,” Chair Jerome Powell said. “All signs are that this is a strong economy,” he added.The S&P 500 roared up 2.24 percent to its biggest gain since April 2020. The Nasdaq Composite gained 3.77 percent and the Dow 1.55 percent.The Australian dollar had its best day in more than a year. The Aussie jumped 1.4 percent against a falling greenback to 73.18 US cents.“Typically, you’d expect all currencies to fall against the dollar when a central bank confirms it is so hawkish,” City Index senior market analyst Matt Simpson said.“Yet when the Fed is concerned, for it to be so confident that the US economy is strong is effectively a boost to global confidence and trade. It also increases the odds that other banks will follow suit to raise rates, which is why we saw commodities and commodity currencies rise in tandem overnight.”Stocks held their gains after mid-morning data showed the unemployment rate fell to 4 percent last month from 4.2 percent in January. The economy added 77,400 jobs, almost twice as many as economists expected. The jobless rate was the lowest since August 2008.Winners’ circleNine of eleven sectors advanced, led by the risk-sensitive tech sector.
