Wall Street closed higher following its first three-day losing streak since Halloween. The S&P 500 rose 0.8% Thursday and continued to hang near its highest level since March 2022. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite added 1.4%. Big Tech pushed strongly upward on the market, led by a big gain for Google’s parent company, Alphabet. Treasury yields largely held steady after a report showed a slight uptick in the number of workers applying for unemployment. A potentially more impactful report on the job market will arrive Friday.
