Wall Street Summary
US stocks rallied as a retreat in oil soothed inflation worries, while the strongest unemployment claims report in more than 50 years highlighted the strength of the economy. Technology companies led a broad rally for stocks on Wall Street Thursday, reversing most of the major indexes' losses from a day earlier and extending the market's recent run of uneven trading.
The $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US$ 500 rose 63.92 points, or 1.4%, to 4520.16, the technology-focused $Nasdaq Composite Index(.IXIC.US$ climbed 269.23 points, or 1.9%, to 14191.84, and the $Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US$ gained 349.44 points, or 1%, to 34707.94. All three indexes declined in the previous session as concerns about rising energy prices and supply shortages again rattled investors.
