Apple feeds appetite for tech stocks
U.S. equities finished higher, with tech stocks leading the way, after strong hopes for the Apple iPhone sent that stock to a record high.
The Dow rose 25 points to 12,442. The Nasdaq rallied 15 points to 2,459. Crude oil prices tumbled to a 19-month low. Speaker: Fadel Gheit, Sr. energy analyst, Oppenheimer & Co. Conway G. Gittens reports from New York.
Shares of Apple Computer surged to a new record and that helped techs lead a late-day turnaround.
By the end of the session - The Nasdaq was up for the third session in a row.
It may only be a matter of time before Apple cracks $100 a share. Wall Street was very bullish on the stock - one-day after details of the iPhone were released. Tech companies that have anything do do with the new gadget also saw their stock move higher. Shares of Apple closed at a record high. But leading handset makers Nokia and Motorola were left out of the rally.
It was another rough day in the oil pits. The U.S. supply of home heating oil was up again last week as the warm weather takes its toll on demand. Crude oil prices plunged to their lowest level in nearly 19-months. Some are declaring the end of the bull market.
"Yes. I am saying that we have seen high oil prices and the prices are likely to drift lower. The question is not if - but when, and by how much."
Airline stocks were active for the second day in a row. US Airways says it is now willing to pay over $10 billion for Delta. That's 20 percent more than its previous offer. But Delta may be looking elsewhere. Delta and Northwest may be looking to fly together, according to the Wall Street Journal. Shares of US Air finished the day to the upside.
A rout in the telecom and energy sectors put European equities under the gun. Markets there have lost all their gains for the year. The German Dax led the declines. And the Paris CAC-40 and the London FTSE followed suit.
And that's the Business Update. Click deeper on Reuters.com for more. I'm Conway Gittens in New York. | |||||||
