Lower interest rates typically create a much more bullish trading backdrop for speculative stocks, and the shifting rate environment could help support further gains.<\/p>\n Rigetti soared thanks to an Air Force contract and other catalysts<\/p>\n On Thursday, news hit that Rigetti Computing had been awarded a $5.8 million contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
