The S&P 500 is up over 18% YTD. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite has shot up by about 36% YTD. Overall US equity markets have recovered strongly from the crash of 2022. However we may not be out of the woods yet. This is not a bull market. High interest rates are projected to remain high for the foreseeable future and recession is also a possibility next year.

For instance, “The Magnificent Seven” are in a bull market of their own within the S&P 500. With that said, let’s take a quick look at which stocks reached all-time highs in the last trading session.
