(Bloomberg) \u2014 The S&P 500 is on track to push toward a new all-time high as investors tilt toward risk on growing confidence in the US economy and the prospect of interest rate cuts.<\/p>\n

The gauge is set for its first back-to-back weekly gain since October, signaling that traders are shaking off November\u2019s jitters over valuations and uncertainty around the economy during the shutdown\u2019s data blackout.<\/p>\n
Nasdaq 100 contracts advanced 0.5%. The dollar slipped. Treasuries continued to tread lower, with the 10-year yield rising one basis point to 4.11%.<\/p>\n
