S&P 500’S 8,000 MILESTONE REMAINS ELUSIVE The S&P 500 is still 5.4% away from 8,000, as rising bond yields, sticky inflation and a hawkish Fed outlook stall the rally.

Despite the macro risks, Wall Street remains relatively calm, with the VIX below 20 and corporate earnings providing support.(*Walter Bloomberg)
