In the long struggle between growth and stability, Wall Street found a moment of relief on Tuesday as fresh economic data hinted that the Federal Reserve's prolonged campaign against inflation may be nearing its end. Falling consumer confidence and the lowest job openings since early 2021 suggested the labor market was finally yielding to the pressure of higher borrowing costs — a signal markets had been waiting for across more than a year of rate increases. The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all rose, not in celebration of prosperity, but in the quieter hope that the medicine may soon be enough.
