Provided by Dow Jones By Joe Wallace and Xie Yu Political unrest in Washington didn't dent the stock market's ongoing rally Thursday, with U.S. stocks climbing toward fresh records. Financial and technology stocks led Thursday's gains, pushing the S&P 500 up 1.5% and putting the broad index on pace to close at its first record of 2021. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose, adding 338 points to 31168.83, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 2.1%, putting both of those benchmarks on track for new closing highs as well. Investors largely looked past Wednesday's violent clash between pro- Trump protesters and law enforcement in the Capitol building that left four people dead, instead focusing on what the shift of political power from Republicans to Democrats means for the market, analysts said.
