US equities rallied as AI optimism, easing energy prices and positive US-China trade headlines lifted sentiment. S&P 500 rose 1.5% and Nasdaq advanced 2.3% to a record close; Meta jumped 11% on its Muse AI agent, while AMD passed USD1t market cap. Brent fell 3.4% to USD100.34, a fourth straight decline, and the 10-year UST yield eased to 4.95%. Fed commentary was mixed: St Louis's Musalem favoured restraint, Chicago's Goolsbee expected inflation back to 2%.
