New York Fed President John Williams, a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee, said the central bank can still cut rates &#34;in the near term&#34; without putting its inflation goal at risk. Traders now see a more than 70% chance that the Fed will cut its main lending rate by 25 basis points in December, up from a near 37% chance seen earlier in the day, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. Boston Fed President Susan Collins, however, said on CNBC policy was &#34;in the right place&#34;, indicating skepticism about the need for another rate cut. Her stance contrasts with dovish signals from some peers, a divergence that could stoke market volatility ahead of the December meeting. &#34;There's still expectations for the rate-cutting cycle to continue, whether it's in December or early next year,&#34; said John Campbell, head of systematic core equity team at Allspring Global Investments. &#34;There could be some volatility around December's cut, but the rate-cutting cycle will probably still continue into next year.&#34; Global brokerages remained divided over the likelihood of a December rate cut after Thursday's release of the long-delayed September jobs report, which marks the last employment reading before the Fed's verdict next month. At 09:49 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 68.12 points, or 0.14%, to 45,817.68. The S&amp;P 500 gained 19.13 points, or 0.29%, to 6,557.68, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 53.76 points, or 0.24%, to 22,131.10. Most megacap and growth stocks gained, with Alphabet leading the pack with a 4% rise. Eli Lilly ( LLY ) rose 1.3%, becoming the first drugmaker to touch a $1 trillion market capitalization. Nvidia ( NVDA ) was down 0.4% after a volatile session on Thursday when the shares swung as much as 5% higher before closing 3.2% down following its third-quarter results. &#34;Valuations have gotten stretched and some investors have been keeping their eye on the exit. Expectations have gotten very high for the AI theme,&#34; Campbell said. The S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq were on track for their worst weekly fall since March. Consumer discretionary and information technology sectors were also set for steep declines this week. The Nasdaq has retreated sharply from its October peak and is poised for a sharp drop in November amid skepticism over tech monetization prospects, circular spending within the sector and rising debt issuance. Markets also digested the November business report, with factory activity slowing to a four-month low on higher prices because of tariffs. Intuit gained 4.1% after the financial management tools company forecast second-quarter revenue growth above market expectations. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 1.82-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.61-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&amp;P 500 posted four new 52-week highs and four new lows, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded five new highs and 191 new lows.
