US Stock Market After-Hours: Cisco’s 20% AI Rally Keeps Records in View, but Fed Risk Builds
Cisco shares jumped nearly 20% after hours Wednesday as the company raised its fiscal 2026 outlook and AI order target to $9 billion. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs despite a 1.4% April surge in the Producer Price Index, the largest monthly gain since March 2022. Prediction markets gave a 97.5% chance the Fed will hold rates steady in June.
