Stocks rose for a third straight day, with investors assessing corporate earnings. Treasuries retreated. Oil climbed.
The S&P 500 advanced at a slower pace relative to the surge of the past two sessions, with energy and financial shares outpacing tech even after Googleâs parent Alphabet Inc. hit a record on stellar results. The Nasdaq 100 fell, led by Amazon.com Inc. Banks climbed as JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley issued bullish calls on the industry. GameStop Corp., the poster child for Redditors looking to squeeze short sellers, and movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. rebounded following Tuesdayâs plunge. Drugmaker Biogen Inc. slumped after disappointing forecasts.
