				U.S. stocks rose to more records following a trade deal between 
				the world’s No. 1 and No. 4 economies.
 The S&P 500 climbed 0.8% Wednesday, setting another all-time 
				high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 1.1%, and the 
				Nasdaq composite gained 0.6%, also hitting a record.
 
 Stocks rallied even more in Tokyo after President Donald Trump 
				announced a deal that would place a 15% tax on imports from 
				Japan. That’s lower than the 25% rate Trump had earlier 
				threatened.
 
 Big U.S. companies continued to offer updates about how Trump’s 
				tariffs are affecting them.
