The market&#39;s primary driver is a combination of <strong>strong enterprise software demand<\/strong> and <strong>positive consumer sentiment<\/strong>. Investors are reacting to data suggesting that <strong>inflation<\/strong> is moderating, which has fueled hopes that the <strong>Federal Reserve<\/strong> may maintain a more dovish stance. This shift has provided a significant tailwind for growth-oriented companies and financial services providers, allowing the index to maintain momentum throughout the trading session.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Salesforce (<a href=\"\/stock\/CRM\">CRM<\/a>)<\/strong> spearheaded the gains, as the stock was up <strong>3.24%<\/strong> following upgraded guidance on <strong>artificial intelligence<\/strong> revenue. Consumer-centric stocks also performed well; <strong>American Express (<a href=\"\/stock\/AXP\">AXP<\/a>)<\/strong> was up <strong>2.96%<\/strong> and <strong>Disney (<a href=\"\/stock\/DIS\">DIS<\/a>)<\/strong> was up <strong>2.95%<\/strong>, indicating robust spending in the travel and entertainment sectors.

Even high-flying tech names saw some profit-taking, as <strong>Apple (<a href=\"\/stock\/AAPL\">AAPL<\/a>)<\/strong> was down <strong>0.79%<\/strong> and <strong>Nvidia (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>)<\/strong> was down <strong>0.10%<\/strong>.
