U.S. stocks were mostly higher midday Thursday, as investors digested President Donald Trump’s latest tariff announcements as well as the latest labor market data, News.az reports citing Investing.
At 11:17AM ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 278 points, or 0.6%, the S&P 500 gained 11 points, or 0.2%, while the NASDAQ Composite slipped 46 points, or 0.44%, on weakness in software stocks.
The main averages on Wall Street rose in the prior session, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite recording an all-time closing high after artificial intelligence-darling Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) became the first company to notch a market value of $4 trillion, albeit briefly.
