The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed more than 450 points to a record close Wednesday after fresh inflation data showed a muted increase and eased fears of a rapid rise in interest rates.
The blue-chip index jumped 464.28 points, or 1.5%, to 32297.02, marking its 11th record of 2021 and first close above 32000.
The S&P 500 gained 23.37 points, or 0.6%, to 3898.81. The Nasdaq Composite, meanwhile, lost 4.99 points, or less than 0.1%, to 13068.83, after rising more than 1.5% in morning trading on the back of Tuesdays strong rally.
The gains for staid Dow stocks and losses for momentum-driven tech stocks are becoming a familiar pattern. Markets have seesawed in the past few weeks as investors have watched yields on U.S. government debt surge amid expectations of both higher inflation and an economic recovery.
