flag Wall Street hit record highs on January 12, 2026, driven by tech gains and Walmart’s Nasdaq move, despite political speculation around Fed Chair Powell.

flag Wall Street closed at record highs on January 12, 2026, with the S&P 500 and Dow reaching new peaks, fueled by gains in tech stocks and a 3% rise in Walmart shares after its move to the Nasdaq and upcoming inclusion in the Nasdaq-100. flag Despite early market jitters over a Justice Department investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell—allegedly tied to his comments on a renovation project—investors largely dismissed the news, viewing it as politically motivated. flag Powell called the probe a pretext to influence monetary policy, amid President Trump’s push for lower interest rates. flag Financial stocks declined after Trump proposed a 10% cap on credit card interest rates, while Alphabet surpassed $4 trillion in market value on AI growth. flag Markets remained resilient, with earnings expectations strong and inflation data pending.
