The Dow was building on earlier gains as a broad-based rally rolled on.
The blue-chip index was up 171 points, or 0.4%, shortly after 10 a.m. ET. Roughly 17 of its 30 stocks were rising. Intel, Boeing, Travelers, Goldman Sachs, and Home Depot were leading the index.
The S&P 500 was up 0.2%, but 352 of its members were rising. Its biggest laggards were ServiceNow, Paramount Global, Baxter International, and Chipotle Mexican Grill. The Nasdaq Composite was also up 0.2%.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are on track for their fifth consecutive session of gains. That would be the longest such streak for the S&P since it rose in six straight sessions through Jan. 25, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The Nasdaq rose for seven straight sessions in mid-June.
At the sector level, only three of the major S&P 500 sectors were falling: consumer staples, energy, and communication services. The leading sector was information technology, but it was followed closely by industrials, financials, and consumer discretionary.
Big tech firms have been lifting the S&P 500 in recent sessions, so seeing so many stocks and sectors contribute to gains is a positive sign to start the week. We’ll see if the market can tack on as a key consumer price index and the start of earnings season approaches.
