U.S. stocks rose to their first all-time high of 2025 as Wall Street regained a bit of the momentum that catapulted it to 57 records last year.
The S&P 500 rose 0.5 percent Thursday amid relatively quiet trading and surpassed the record it set early last month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.9 percent, and the Nasdaq composite edged up 0.2 percent.
Movements were mostly quiet in stock markets abroad, even after China’s latest attempt to juice stock prices in the world’s second-largest economy. Treasury yields were mixed in the bond market, helping to keep stock trading relatively calm.
