S&P 500 hits fresh record high as market sentiment stays bullish. The benchmark index closed at new highs Friday, bolstered by gains in Apple shares and continued strength in large-cap stocks. The CNN Money Fear and Greed Index remained firmly in "Greed" territory with minimal change, signaling sustained investor confidence despite broader market volatility. The index's positioning in the greed zone suggests market participants are maintaining an optimistic outlook on equities. Apple's performance contributed meaningfully to the broader market advance, reflecting ongoing strength in technology stocks. This combination of record index levels and elevated sentiment readings indicates investors remain willing to deploy capital into equities at current valuations.
