Dow rallies 306 points, notches 5-day winning streak, Europe holds onto gains at the close amid mixed earnings, Airbus soars 10.3%
Wall Street surged on Thursday and was on track to end higher for a fifth straight session, led by Apple and other technology stocks as investors shrugged off recent inflation worries that threw the market into a sell-off at the start of the month. The Dow Jones industrial average closed 306.88 points higher at 25,200.37, with Boeing as the biggest contributor of gains. The S&P 500 gained 1.2 percent to finish at 2,731.20, with utilities and tech as the best-performing sectors. The Nasdaq composite rose 1.6 percent to 7,256.43 after falling as much as 0.2 percent.
Apple jumped 3.2 percent and contributed more than any other stock to gains on the S&P 500 after Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway made the iPhone maker its top investment. In corporate news, Cisco Systems jumped 4.7 percent after reporting better-than-expected earnings. The company also posted its first year-over-year revenue increase in more than two years.
On the data front Thursday, jobless claims increased by 7,000 to a seasonally adjusted 230,000, rebounding from a near 45-year low. The price producer index, meanwhile, rose 0.4 percent in January, in line with expectations.
European stocks finished off Thursday's trade on a relatively positive note, as investors delved through corporate earnings, while keeping an eye on market moves overseas. The pan-European STOXX 600 ended trade up 0.53 percent provisionally, off session highs, while sectors closed mostly higher.
Once again, earnings took center stage with better-than-expected results driving Europe's top gainers. Airbus surged to the top of the STOXX 600 after the continent's biggest aerospace firm beat profit and earnings expectations. Shares closed up 10.3 percent on the news.
Elsewhere, Dutch insurer Aegon rose 2.18 percent after the firm posted its latest figures. The company doubled quarterly net income and lifted estimates for future earnings.
Nestle shares slipped over 2 percent after sales for 2017 came in at 89.8 billion Swiss francs, below analyst forecasts of 90.097 billion francs. The news added pressure to the food and beverage sector, which under-performed most European industries in trade.
From the macro side, the first estimate for euro area (EA19) exports of goods to the rest of the world in December 2017 was €180.7 billion, an increase of 1.0% compared with December 2016 (€179.0 bn).
