YOUR PHILLIP SUMMARY
U.S. stocks closed higher Wednesday, during a holiday-abridged trading session, with all three major benchmarks setting record closes as investors cheered signs that global monetary policy will become more stimulative in the months ahead. Market participants also digested new U.S. job-growth estimates from ADP as well as jobless claims data that paint a conflicting picture of the labor market ahead of the much anticipated government job report, due Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 179.32 points, or 0.7%, at 26,966, it’s first record close since Oct. 3, while the S&P 500 index set its third-straight record close, rising 22.81 points, or 0.8% to 2,995.82. The Nasdaq Composite index ended the day at an all-time high of 8,170.23, adding 61.14 points , or 0.8%. The S&P also set a new intraday high of 2,995.83 while the Dow’s closing level also ranks as an intraday record.
