About this listen

It was a blockbuster week, and quarter, for Wall Street. The Dow jumped 1,009 points (2.3%), the S&P 500 gained 1.7%, and the NASDAQ rose 1.6%. Year-to-date, all three indexes are firmly in positive territory, with the S&P 500 up 6.8% and the NASDAQ up 6.7%. June closed strong too, with the Dow up 4%, the S&P 500 up nearly 5%, and the NASDAQ surging 6.5%. Even more remarkable: the second quarter saw the S&P soar 10.5% and the NASDAQ skyrocket 17.75% despite April’s sharp correction.

The Money Wise guys break down how this market resilience reflects optimism around trade progress, cooling inflation, and regulatory rollbacks following a key Supreme Court ruling. They also highlight that, since November 2024, the S&P 500 is up just 4.1% (excluding dividends), leaving plenty of room for further growth. The second half of the show wrapped up their “10 Questions to Ask a Financial Advisor” series, empowering investors to make smarter decisions when choosing a financial partner.

Supreme Court Shake Ups

The Supreme Court’s recent decision limiting nationwide injunctions from federal district courts could have far-reaching implications for the economy, and the markets are just beginning to notice. This ruling clears the path for more of President Trump’s deregulation agenda, which was often stalled in his first term by lower-court injunctions. With fewer legal roadblocks, businesses could see a reduction in regulatory red tape, potentially boosting economic growth and corporate earnings. While this development hasn’t grabbed major headlines in the financial press, it could be an underappreciated driver of optimism in the current market rally.
