Here’s where the major benchmarks ended:

  • The S&P 500 index rose 25.61 points (0.5%) to 4,894.16, a record high close; the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (DJI) gained 242.74 points (0.6%) to 38,049.13, also a record high; the NASDAQ Composite rose 28.58 points (0.2%) to 15,510.50.
  • The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) fell about 5 basis points to 4.13%.
  • The CBOE Volatility Index® (VIX) rose 0.31 to 13.45.

Energy companies were among the market’s strongest performers Thursday, boosted by a rally in WTI crude oil (/CL) futures, which surged 2.8% and ended near a two-month high above $77 per barrel amid concerns conflict in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine war may disrupt global oil supplies.
