U.S. stocks rallied to the brink of a record after more
companies reported fatter profits than expected.
The S&P 500 rose 1% Thursday. It got within 0.1% of its all-time
high as Wall Street yawned at the latest announcement on tariffs
by President Donald Trump, which may not take full effect for at
least several weeks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.8%, and the Nasdaq
composite rallied 1.5%.
MGM Resorts International, GE HealthCare Technologies and Molson
Coors Beverage helped lead the way following their profit
reports.
Treasury yields eased in the bond market despite
stronger-than-expected readings on inflation and unemployment
claims.
