U.S. stock trading produced gains across the three major indexes Wednesday, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2.27%, far outpacing the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite.
The S&P 500 gained 0.99%, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.07%. The Dow's lead measured 1.28 percentage points over the S&P 500 and 2.20 points over the Nasdaq. The Nasdaq's gain was 0.92 percentage points smaller than the S&P 500's.
Combined, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite added 1.06%, less than half the Dow's 2.27% rise. The figures describe moves during Nov. 4 trading and do not give the indexes' final closing levels.
