Major U.S. stock indexes shook off a weak start and ended higher Thursday, notching another round of record highs for the S&P 500 and, just barely, the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq also rose. Gains for several big technology companies including Apple countered weakness in other sectors including industrial companies. News on the economy was mixed. Unemployment claims fell for the third straight week, another sign the job market is healing. However, wholesale prices rose last month.

The S&P 500 rose 13.13 points, or 0.3%, to 4,460.83.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 6.27 points, or 0.3%, to 2,244.07.
