U.S. markets have experienced a notable performance recently, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching record highs. The S&P 500 achieved a new record close, contributing to a nearly two-year bull market that has sparked discussions among financial experts about its sustainability. Investment analysts, including Malcolm Ethridge from Capital Area Planning and Mike Rode from American Century, have weighed in on the market's trajectory amid ongoing concerns about inflation. Following the record highs, however, stocks have begun to decline, as recent economic data indicates persistent inflationary pressures. The investment community continues to monitor these developments closely, debating the future of the bull market as it approaches its second anniversary.
