Wall Street Sees Gains as Tech and Bank Stocks Rise

Bankers and tech shares contributed to green figures on Wall Street on Thursday.

The broad S&P 500 index rose 0.8 percent – and thus landed just below a new record.

Both the tech-heavy Nasdaq and the industrial index Dow Jones closed at a plus of 1 percent.

Contributed to the green figures, not least Spotify, which increased by 5.3 percent. Netflix and Meta both landed at a plus of 2.4 percent, while Amazon closed at a plus of 2.5 percent.
