Here's a recap of Wednesday's key moments. 1

The S & P 500 and Nasdaq hit intraday all-time highs for the second straight session, but have come off the boil a bit

Both indexes with record-high closes Tuesday after cooler-than-expected consumer inflation data put a near lock on a Federal Reserve interest rate cut next month, with increasing odds of additional cuts in October and December. "I am concerned that things are too exuberant," Jim Cramer said during the Morning Meeting, ahead of Thursday's Monthly Meeting for members at noon ET

Piper Sandler, however, raised its price target on stock Nvidia to $225 per from $180 and kept its overweight buy rating

But Jim said Costco shouldn't be down because it doesn't compete with Amazon on dery
