The Closing Bell: US stocks Jump After Report Of Stronger Consumer Spending

TedTed
edited August 2017 in Fund Discussions
FYI: U.S. stocks climbed Thursday after the Commerce Department said spending by U.S. consumers grew in July, along with wages and salaries. Technology companies are extending their winning streak as the Nasdaq composite nears record highs. Health care and energy companies are also rising, and so are retailers. Packaged food companies are falling after weak forecasts from Campbell Soup.
Regards,
Ted
