U.S. stocks closed at an all-time high, another milestone in a
remarkable recovery from a springtime plunge caused by fears
that the Trump administration’s trade policies could harm the
economy.
The S&P 500 rose 0.5% and finished above its previous record set
in February. The Nasdaq composite gained 0.5% and set its own
all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1%.
President Donald Trump’s decision Friday to halt trade talks
with Canada threatened to derail Wall Street’s run to a record,
but the market steadied. Nike was the biggest gainer in the S&P
500 with a gain of more than 15%.
