U.S. equities pushed higher again Tuesday, racking up their fifth win in six sessions. Trading was pretty quiet, but tech stocks carried the load.

The real story? Everyone's still banking on the Fed slashing rates next week. That expectation isn't going anywhere—and it's keeping buyers in the game. Markets love easy money, and right now they're pricing it in like it's already done.

Tech continues to flex. When rate cuts are on the table, growth stocks tend to run hot. Lower borrowing costs make future earnings look juicier, and that's exactly what's playing out here.

Six out of seven sessions in the green. Not a bad streak. Whether it holds depends on what Powell and crew actually deliver—but for now, sentiment's riding high.
