The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed intraday as a jump in shares of oil-and-gas companies helped offset selling across the technology sector. The blue-chip index rose 95 points, or 0.4%, to 25241 after closing at its highest level in nearly three months Wednesday. The S&P 500 fell 0.1% and the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.1%, pressured by a slide in technology shares. Stocks have attempted to break higher in recent days as investors have bet that threats of tighter trade policies won't be a significant drag on global growth. The news that the U.S. and China reached a deal that would allow Chinese telecommunications company ZTE to do business again was a bright spot for investors hoping for diffused trade tensions. The US Gold price was up 0.1% to 1,296.80 US$/oz.
