The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Nov. 20, edition that U.S. stocks climbed on Wednesday. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe reports that all three major U.S. stock indexes closed in positive territory, with tech strength putting the Nasdaq out front. Chipmaker Nvidia, to the relief of many market watchers, reported better-than-expected earnings. Shares of Advanced Micro Devices, Alphabet and Palantir Technologies made gains Wednesday. "The market is breathing a big, collective sigh of relief because Nvidia is confirming that AI demand is strong," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive officer of 50 Park Investments in New York. "If it sticks and stays by tomorrow's close this little pullback in the market could end." The S&P 500 is still down more than 3 per cent from its October highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 47.03 points, or 0.10 per cent, to 46,138.77, the S&P 500 gained 24.87 points, or 0.38 per cent, to 6,642.19 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 131.38 points, or 0.59 per cent, to 22,564.23.
