US: Tech shares lead stocks higher
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


LARGE technology companies enjoyed a positive session on Thursday, lifting the Nasdaq amid continued bullishness over artificial intelligence as investors awaited Apple earnings.

Shares of Amazon, Google parent Alphabet and Microsoft all forged higher in the wake of largely upbeat earnings reports in recent days. Apple, which reports results later on Thursday, jumped 2.2 per cent.

The tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index finished at 15,840.96, up 1.5 per cent.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 0.9 per cent to 38,225.66, while the broad-based S&P 500 climbed 0.9 per cent to 5,064.20.

The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note retreated a day after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said an interest rate hike was unlikely.

“The investors are breathing a sigh of relief because Fed Chair Powell basically said that a rate hike is unlikely,” said Sam Stovall of CFRA Research. “And that I think was the biggest concern that investors had going into the Fed meeting where they thought that Powell would be more hawkish than he actually was.”
