US markets advanced overnight after the Fed chairman Jerome Powell stated that policymakers want to see more progress on inflation ahead of a decision to lower rates. US May CPI data also showed inflation continuing to cool, which lifted the market’s expectations that the Federal Reserve will pivo to rate cuts as early as September.

It was a strong session on Wall Street with the S&P500 gained 0.85%, closing above 5,400 for the first time. The Nasdaq also hit an all-time high, up 1.53%, while the Dow Jones was the outlier, closing down slightly by 0.09%.
