Here’s where the major benchmarks ended:
- The S&P 500 index rose 29.11 points (0.6%) to 5,029.73; the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (DJI) gained 348.85 points (0.9%) to 38,773.12; the NASDAQ Composite® (COMP) added 47.03 points (0.3%) to 15,906.17.
- The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) fell more than 2 basis points to 4.242%.
- The CBOE Volatility Index® (VIX) lost 0.37 to 14.01.
Bank shares were among the market’s strongest performers with an assist from Wells Fargo (WFC), whose shares jumped more than 7% following reports a bank industry regulator had ended a penalty it imposed after a fake accounts scandal.
Energy companies also posted outsized gains behind a rebound in crude oil prices. Also, small-cap shares extended a sharp upswing as the Russell 2000® Index (RUT) gained 2.5% and ended at its highest level since late December.
