Ticker: Another rally sends Wall Street nearly 16% higher for the first half of the year

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:54:24 GMT

Wall Street blazed to another rally to cap a winning week, month and first half of the year after reports suggested pressure on inflation may be easing. The S&P 500 jumped 1.2% Friday to reach its highest level since April 2022.It surged 15.9% in the first half of the year. The Dow rose 0.8% and the Nasdaq composite added 1.4%. The market has rallied through 2023 in part because the economy has been able to avoid a long-predicted recession.Wall Street also hopes inflation is easing enough for the Federal Reserve to soon halt its hikes to rates, though an index monitored by the Federal Reserve tumbled last month to its lowest level since April 2021, pulled down by lower gas prices and slower-rising food costs.At the same time, consumers barely increased their spending last month, boosting it just 0.1%, after a solid 0.6% gain in April. The inflation index showed that prices rose 3.8% in May from 12 months earlier, down sharply from a 4.4% year-over-year surge in April.It’s almost...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:54:24 GMT

CAMBRIDGE — The locks on the doors all around the recently-closed Matignon School were in the middle of getting changed out Friday afternoon, and access to a microphone was out of the picture.But all it took was a couple weeks of spreading the word, and a propped-open door, for several dozen former members of the historic boys hockey program to come together one last time inside the Warriors’ gymnasium – honoring everything the longtime power accomplished.Matignon athletic director Mike Lahiff spoke for a few minutes after the group of about 70 people took a photo together inside the small gym, and legendary retired coach Marty Pierce read a five-minute prepared speech.Pierce frequently describes his 40-year tenure – which included 10 state championships, 20 league titles and a large collection of sold-out games at the Boston Garden – as “magical times.”Add this moment to the list.“The old players, the new players, the more recent players at the end of my career; t...
