Dow Jones
U.S. stocks ended higher on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average tipping over 17,000 on the back of a number of upbeat economic data. However, trading was somewhat light as investors were awaiting insight about the future of interest rates from central bankers attending the annual meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 0.36% or 60.36 points to 17039.49. The rise back above the 17,000 level is the Dow’s highest close since July 24. The index is off around 0.6% from its all-time closing high.
