The S&P 500 and Dow Jones rose on Thursday following a stronger-than-expected jobs report, with the S&P 500 up over 0.37% and the Nasdaq Composite and Dow Jones also experiencing gains.
US stocks hit new highs after President Donald Trump's trade deal announcement with Vietnam, leading to optimism about further agreements. Technology companies drove the market gains with the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones Industrial Average all seeing growth.
In early trading, most sectoral indices were in the green, with consumer discretionary and financial sectors leading the gains. Companies like Uber, Meta Platforms, Amazon, Salesforce, Microsoft, and Nvidia saw stock price increases, while Coca-Cola, McDonald's, and Apple faced losses.
Market movements also included a decline in spot gold and crude oil prices, a rise in the Bloomberg Dollar Index, and a small increase in Bitcoin value.
