US Market extends gain; Tech, realty leads

10 Feb 2022 , 09:18 AM

At the close of trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index rose 305.28 points, or 0.86%, to 35,768.06. The S&P500 index was up 65.64 points, or 1.45%, to 4,587.18. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 295.92 points, or 2.08%, to 14,490.37.

Advancing stocks outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE exchange by 2395 to 917 and 157 closed unchanged. In the NASDAQ, 3296 issues advanced, 1379 issues declined, and 223 issues unchanged.

All 11 major S&P 500 sector indexes advanced, with top performing issues were real estate (up 2.38%), information technology (up 2.3%), materials (up 2.13%), and industrials (up 1.37%).

Among individual stocks, Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) showed a strong upward move after the restaurant chain reported better than expected fourth quarter earnings.
