Stock market today: Wall Street hits records as a slowing economy boosts hopes for lower rates
==========
Wall Street's record-breaking rally continues as a slowing economy boosts hopes for lower interest rates. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% to set an all-time high for a second straight day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 23 points, while the Nasdaq composite added 0.9% to its record. Tesla rose 6.5% after reporting a milder drop in sales. The bond market saw Treasury yields slide following weaker-than-expected reports on the job market and U.S. services companies. The hope is that the economy softens enough to keep inflation in check without triggering a recession. The yield on the 10-year Treasury dropped to 4.35%. Traders are now betting on a nearly three-in-four chance that the Federal Reserve will cut its main interest rate as soon as September. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia.
