The primary catalyst driving the market&#39;s upward movement was a robust earnings report from <strong>American Express<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/AXP\">AXP<\/a>), which significantly outperformed expectations and provided an optimistic outlook for the remainder of <strong>2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>American Express<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/AXP\">AXP<\/a>) led the Dow&#39;s gainers, surging by an impressive <strong>5.48%<\/strong> to <strong>$340.78<\/strong>. The financial services giant raised the lower end of its <strong>2025<\/strong> profit and revenue forecasts, citing sustained spending by affluent customers despite broader economic uncertainties.
