"Wall Street just wrapped a strong start to the year, and analysts are especially bullish on certain stocks as the second half of the year begins. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 are up 10% this year, with the former logging its best first-half performance since 2021"
"The S&P 500 rose 0.2% early Friday. The index is coming off six gains in a row and is headed for a ninth straight winning week, which would be the longest such streak since 2023."
