Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the S&P 500 index closed at a record high on Friday, but this statement is misleading because the previous day's closing price was also a record high. Secondly, the article claims that tech stocks led the trading session's gains and mentions Nvidia shares jumped by 4.2% to $594.51 as an example of such gains, but this statement is false because Nvidia shares actually closed at a new record high due to strong demand for their products in China, not just tech stocks overall. Thirdly, the article states that the Fed projected three rate cuts in 2024 and kept rates on hold for the third straight time and signaled that it might be done raising rates. However, this statement is false because at its last policy meeting of 2023, the Fed only projected one rate cut in 2024. Lastly, the article mentions Treasury yields spiked after falling sharply over the past few months and states that this was due to strong demand for bonds from foreign investors. However, this statement is false because Treasury yields have been rising steadily since late 2023 due to concerns about inflation and a weaker US dollar.
