Stocks rose Thursday as another surprise jump in initial jobless claims increased confidence on Wall Street that congressional leaders soon will agree to a coronavirus aid package.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 101 points, or 0.33%, to 30,255, the S&P 500 gained 0.36% and the Nasdaq rose 0.48%.
The S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq traded at record intraday highs earlier in Thursday’s session.
While Congress was putting the finishing touches of the $900 billion relief plan some details of what will be included in the package have emerged.
People briefed on the negotiations told Bloomberg the draft of the plan includes $600 in payments for individuals, $300 a week in supplemental unemployment insurance payments and aid for small businesses. It also includes roughly $17 billion for airlines.
