Tech gains and rise in jobless claims lift US stocks
Wall Street stocks advanced on Thursday powered by gains in tech, while Treasuries rose after fresh data pointed to a cooling US labour market that would support the case for a pause of interest rate rises by the Federal Reserve next week. Investors returned to tech, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite adding 1 per cent and the NYSE Fang+ index of 10 highly traded tech stocks rising 2 per cent, reversing its losses from the previous session. The gains in US equities also came after fresh data showed the number of new applications for unemployment aid rose to 261,000, the highest level since October 2021 — bolstering hopes the Fed will refrain from raising rates at its meeting next week.
