With a strong rise closed the Wall Street on Friday (21.11.25), as investors reacted positively to statements by New York Federal Reserve Bank President John Williams, who left open the possibility of another interest rate cut later this year.
At the close on Wall Street, the Dow Jones gained 1.08%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.96% and the Nasdaq gained 0.88%, showing an overall positive trend for the major markets.
The rally was largely fueled by Nvidia shares, which rose more than 1 percent after a Bloomberg News report said the Trump administration was considering allowing the sale of H200 chips to China.
In his speech from Santiago, Chile, Williams said monetary policy remains “moderately accommodative,” though now “somewhat less” after the Fed’s recent moves. He emphasized, in fact, that there is room for further adjustment so that the interest rate approaches the neutral level, achieving a balance in the Bank’s dual objectives.
The remarks by such a senior Fed official boosted expectations that the central bank will make another rate cut at its December meeting, which would be the third in 2025. Markets immediately reacted, increasing bets on another rate cut.
