Indices in this article
NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – The record hunt on Wall Street started a new round on Thursday. Both the most important technology stocks indices and the S&P 500, which represents the broad market, rose and reached highs in the course of trading. One of the driving forces was that US President Joe Biden had overcome a hurdle in the struggle for billion dollar investments in infrastructure. “We have reached an agreement,” Biden wrote on Twitter after speaking to a group of Democratic and Republican senators. Despite the deal, it is not said that a smooth passage in Congress is imminent.
The technology-heavy NASDAQ 100 rose 0.64 percent to 14,365.96 points. The more comprehensive Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQ Composite Index) gained 0.69 percent to 14,369.71 points.
For the S&P 500 it went up 0.58 percent to 4266.49 points. The Dow Jones Industrial (Dow Jones 30 Industrial) also posted gains, but is still a bit short of its high in early May. The US leading index rose by 0.95 percent to 34,196.82 points./la/he
