How major US stock indexes fared Thursday, 1/23/2025

U.S. stocks rose to their first all-time high of 2025 as Wall Street regained a bit of the momentum that catapulted it to 57 records last year. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% Thursday amid relatively quiet trading and surpassed the record it set early last month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.9%, and the Nasdaq composite edged up 0.2%. Movements were mostly quiet in stock markets abroad, even after China’s latest attempt to juice stock prices in the world’s second-largest economy. Treasury yields were mixed in the bond market, helping to keep stock trading relatively calm.
