The three major U.S. stock indexes were higher in Wednesday's intraday snapshot, with the Nasdaq Composite's 1.64% rise leading the group and setting the pace for the reported gains.
The S&P 500 advanced 0.78%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.09%. The figures rank the indexes by percentage move at the time of the reading; they do not show where any benchmark finished at the close.
The latest ranking echoes a separate Nov. 9 snapshot, when the Nasdaq Composite also led, rising 2.4%. In that earlier reading, the S&P 500 gained 2% and the Dow added 1.6%. Each of those advances was larger than its counterpart in Wednesday's figures, but the two sets describe separate sessions.
