The S&P 500 closed near 7,719 on September 4, 2026, up roughly 19% over the past year amid robust corporate earnings growth. AI-related capital spending by hyperscalers, projected to exceed $750 billion this year, has fueled double-digit profit gains and prompted multiple Wall Street firms to lift year-end targets into the 7,950–8,100 range. Recent August nonfarm payrolls of 162,000 and a steady 4.1% unemployment rate underscore labor-market resilience, while the Federal Reserve holds the funds rate at 3.5–3.75% amid elevated inflation readings tied partly to energy prices. Traders are monitoring the September CPI release and FOMC communications for signals on rate-path adjustments, alongside any shifts in AI capex momentum or Treasury yields near 4.8% that could influence equity valuations through year-end.
