PHILLIP SUMMARY
U.S. stocks closed higher Wednesday as investors eyed momentum-driven and technology shares again, along with small-capitalization stocks, while awaiting further clarity on central bank stimulus plans and international trade negotiations.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.9%, to 27,137.04, closing above 27,000 for the first time since July. The S&P 500 index advanced 0.7%, to 3,000.93. The Nasdaq Composite index gained 1.1%, to 8,169.67.
The Dow notched its sixth-straight gain, while the S&P 500 closed higher for the fifth time in six sessions. The Nasdaq snapped a three-day losing streak.
Wednesday’s action saw the waning of a rotation out of market-leading momentum shares and tech stocks into previously out-of-favor value stocks, as momentum stocks found their footing again in afternoon action following early-morning losses. Stocks in the information technology sector also stabilized, rising 1% after three-straight losing sessions.
