Here are today’s market moves:
What Happened?
The S&P 500 and other major indexes climbed on Thursday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both closing at fresh records.
Why the climb?
The Labor Department said initial jobless claims fell slightly last week to 385,000, a number that is still nearly double the pre-pandemic average.
The monthly jobs report released tomorrow might help shape views on how long the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying program will continue.
The crypto market climbed on Thursday, with Bitcoin trading near $41k and Ether near $2,800, as Ethereum activated a major change called the “London hard fork.”
