Welcome back to need to know on Twitter news.
I'm Hanna do with Baker Machado. But let's go
to Christen, the New York Stock Exchange. Happy
Friday, Kristen. Good morning. Happy Friday.
Good morning to you. He Baker. That's right
. We are off to the races down here on
the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. You're
looking at a thrift goods because it saves a value
. A village thrift crowds celebrating the open after an
IPO, a successful IPO yesterday. We'll have more
on that in a moment and then the Consul General
of Canada in New York. Tom Clark celebrating the
open there at the NASDAQ in Times Square. Here's
a live look from the floor of the New York
Stock Exchange really strong gains. In fact, as
we looked round out the week, the second quarter
, the month and the first half of the year
. So there's a lot going on down here on
the floor of the New York Stock Exchange today.
But these are gains, investors will welcome. We've
seen very strong gains throughout the year, double digit
gains. In fact, in 2023 in the first
half, the NASDAQ about to book its best first
half to a year since 1983. 40 years.
Quite impressive. Of course, after some steep losses
last year, but the NASDAQ leading the gains today
up almost 1%. The S and P up 8/10
of a percent, the dow higher by 6/10 of
a percent. All coming after some inflation data this
morning showed inflation edging a little bit lower in May
but still well above the fed's 2% target. So
investors at least taking that news for now in stride --> .
