The tech-heavy index gained <strong>0.45%<\/strong> to close at <strong>21,798.70<\/strong> points, while the <strong>S&amp;P 500 (<a href=\"\/stock\/SPX\">SPX<\/a>)<\/strong> rose <strong>0.21%<\/strong> to <strong>6,495.15<\/strong> and the <strong>Dow Jones Industrial Average (<a href=\"\/stock\/DJI\">DJI<\/a>)<\/strong> climbed <strong>0.25%<\/strong> to <strong>45,514.95<\/strong>, both unofficially closing near their respective record levels. This market optimism follows a troubling nonfarm payrolls report released Friday, which indicated a weakening U.S. job market and reinforced bets on imminent monetary easing.<\/p>\n<p>In the bond market, <strong>Treasury yields<\/strong> continued their decline, with the benchmark <strong>10-year Treasury note<\/strong> falling to <strong>4.05%<\/strong>, marking a five-month low. This drop from Friday&#39;s close of <strong>4.09%<\/strong> reflects strong market expectations for the Federal Reserve to lower borrowing costs. Traders have now fully priced in at least a <strong>25 basis point interest rate cut<\/strong> at the Fed&#39;s upcoming two-day policy meeting on September 17, with a <strong>10% chance<\/strong> of a more aggressive <strong>50 basis point reduction<\/strong>. Several brokerages have revised their forecasts, with Barclays now expecting three <strong>25 bps cuts<\/strong> in 2025 and Standard Chartered anticipating a <strong>50 bps trim<\/strong> in September. Investors are now keenly awaiting key inflation data, including the Producer Price Index (PPI) on Wednesday and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Thursday, for further clues on the pace of future rate adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>In corporate news, <strong>Intel (<a href=\"\/stock\/INTC\">INTC<\/a>)<\/strong> announced a series of significant leadership changes aimed at bolstering its growth and streamlining operations. Kevork Kechichian has been appointed to lead the Data Center Group, Naga Chandrasekaran&#39;s role has expanded to encompass Foundry Services, and Jim Johnson is now Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Client Computing Group. These changes come as part of CEO Lip-Bu Tan&#39;s strategy to improve financial performance, following a substantial net loss of <strong>$18.8 billion<\/strong> in 2024. Adding to the company&#39;s strategic shifts, the U.S. government has acquired a nearly <strong>10% equity stake<\/strong> in Intel, valued at approximately <strong>$8.9 billion<\/strong>, by converting previously allocated CHIPS and Science Act grants into direct ownership.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, e-commerce giant <strong>Amazon (<a href=\"\/stock\/AMZN\">AMZN<\/a>)<\/strong> has made a strategic investment in the Colombian delivery company Rappi. Amazon took a <strong>$25 million<\/strong> stake in Rappi via a convertible note, which could entitle it to acquire up to a <strong>12% stake<\/strong> through warrants if certain milestones are met. This partnership aims to integrate Amazon&#39;s retail and tech infrastructure with Rappi&#39;s extensive last-mile delivery network across Latin America, including its &quot;Turbo&quot; service for rapid deliveries.<\/p>\n<p>In the cryptocurrency space, <strong>CleanCore Solutions (<a href=\"\/stock\/ZONE\">ZONE<\/a>)<\/strong>, a partner of the House of Doge Treasury, announced a substantial acquisition of <strong>Dogecoin (<a href=\"\/stock\/DOGE-USD\">DOGE-USD<\/a>)<\/strong>.
