The U.S. stock market closed higher Friday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each ending at record highs.
The Nasdaq clinched its first record closing high since December, while the S&P 500 eclipsed its previous record peak notched in February, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
The S&P 500 rose 32.05 points, or 0.5%, to end at 6,173.07.
The Nasdaq advanced 105.55 points, or 0.5%, to finish at 20,273.46.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 432.43 points, or a sharp 1%, to close at 43,819.27.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended at fresh all-time peaks after briefly falling into the red Friday afternoon following President Donald Trump’s post on social media about terminating trade discussions with Canada. He said on Truth Social that Canada’s decision to put a digital-services tax on American tech companies was an "attack" on the U.S.
All three major U.S. stock benchmarks booked strong weekly gains. The S&P 500 rallied 3.4% to snap back-to-back weekly losses, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq jumped 4.2% for the week and the Dow climbed 3.8%, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Both the Dow and Nasdaq logged back-to-back weekly gains.
(Reuters) - Oil prices edged higher on Thursday as crude inventories in the United States fell on higher demand as summer driving season ramped up, while concerns over Middle East supply risks eased, offsetting some gains.
Brent crude futures settled up 5 cents, or 0.07%, higher to $67.73 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude gained 32 cents, or 0.49%, to $65.24 a barrel.
Both benchmarks climbed nearly 1% on Wednesday, recovering from losses earlier in the week after data showed resilient U.S. demand. Brent futures were trading below their close of $69.36 on June 12, the day before Israel started airstrikes on Iran.
The U.S. driving season had started slowly but was now stoking demand, ANZ analysts said.
"The market is starting to digest the fact that crude oil inventories are very tight all of a sudden," said Phil Flynn, senior analyst with the Price Futures Group.
U.S. crude oil and fuel inventories fell in the week to June 20 as refining activity and demand rose, the Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday.
Crude inventories fell by 5.8 million barrels, the EIA said, exceeding analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll for a 797,000-barrel draw.
Stocks closed sharply higher after a cliff-hanger session on Thursday, in which the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 both briefly surpassed their prior closing highs but ultimately came up short in the final moments of trade.
The S&P 500 index gained 48.86 points, or 0.8%, closing at 6,141.02. It needs to close above 6,144.15 for a new record.
The Nasdaq Composite rose 194.36 points, or 1%, ending at 20,167.91. Its level to beat is 20,173.89.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 404.41 points, or 0.9%, finishing at 43,386.84. That was 3.6% off its record close from Dec. 4, 2024, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
Stock-market bulls have been looking to seize fresh records since oil prices began retreating and Israel and Iran agreed to a cease-fire. Bond yields also have been easing, helping fuel a more risk-on tone on Wall Street.
