Wall Street Ends Higher, Nasdaq Sets Closing Record

Posted by suhani varma on Friday, April 24, 2015 with No comments

The Nasdaq Composite, the US market index most closely associated with technology stocks, closed at an all-time high on Thursday, surpassing a 2000 record set just before the dotcom crash. Its new record close of 5,056.06 capped a slow, unsteady climb since it touched a 2002 low of 1,114.11, that spanned an economic recession, the rise of biotech and social media and the explosive growth of mobile phones that has helped make Apple Inc the most valuable company in the United States. 

The Nasdaq traded as high as 5,073.091 on Thursday, led by shares of Apple, which has been among the biggest positive influences on the index in recent years. The index's last record close of 5,048.62 was hit on March 10, 2000. The benchmark S&P 500 index also set an intraday high, but closed shy of a new record.
