NEW YORK: Wall Street's three major indices marked record closing highs with modest gains on Thursday, largely thanks to support from the technology sector, while investors cautiously monitored private labor market data on the second day of a US government shutdown.
The benchmark index rose very slightly, with its valuation already at its highest level since 2020, while the Nasdaq, up 0.4%, was the biggest gainer on the day, with help from heavyweight technology companies including AI chip leader Nvidia , Apple and Broadcom.
