A 2.4% rise in the Nasdaq Composite led gains among three major U.S. stock indexes Monday, while the S&P 500 reached its biggest intraday percentage advance in three months at 2%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 1.6% in the same Nov. 9 trading snapshot. The figures show where the indexes stood during the session, not their closing returns.
The three-month comparison measures the size of the S&P 500’s rise during trading. It does not mean the index reached its highest level in three months.
The benchmark had gained 0.9% in late Friday morning trading, after technology shares helped drive it lower on Thursday. That Friday figure also captured a point during the session rather than a closing return.
A separate Nov. 9 snapshot showed the Nasdaq-100 up as much as 2.66%, with the S&P 500 up 1.86% and the Dow up 1.64%. The Nasdaq-100 and Nasdaq Composite are different indexes, and the two snapshots should not be treated as one set of readings.
