Stocks started off Fed week strong, with the Dow adding 50 points. The S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq sustained their recent surge, logging record closes -- the Nasdaq's sixth straight -- thanks to Tesla's (TSLA) outsized gains. The EV was a main driver of investor optimism today, after CEO Elon Musk purchased shares for the first time since 2020, worth $1 billion.

Gold prices returned to their record-high ways today, pricing in a rate cut on Wednesday as the U.S. dollar cooled. U.S. gold futures rose 0.7% to $3,712.79 per ounce.
