NEW YORK — Stocks are ticking higher ahead of a week with several data reports that could dictate by how much or even whether the U.S. Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its next meeting in a week.
The S&P 500 rose 0.2 per cent and was just below its record set last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 46 points, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.5 per cent.
AppLovin and Robinhood Markets helped lead the market after learning they will join the S&P 500 index later this month.
Trading across the broader market held relatively steady ahead of several updates coming later this week on the U.S. job market and inflation.
