U.S. stocks ended mostly higher on April 30, but the clearest record-setting move was the S&P 500 hitting a fresh intraday high above 7,200 while the Nasdaq traded near its own record level earlier in the session.
The blue chip Dow (DJI) was +1.6%, the benchmark S&P 500 (SP500) was +1.1% and reached an intraday record, and the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite (COMP:IND) was +0.9%.
The day was driven by strong Big Tech earnings, with Alphabet standing out and helping lift sentiment across the market.
Lower oil prices and falling Treasury yields also supported stocks, easing some pressure from macro concerns.
That combination helped keep Wall Street near record territory despite mixed moves in individual megacap names like Meta and Microsoft.
