NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Dow and
S&P 500 hit record closing highs on Thursday, with the S&P 500
topping 1,700 after strong data on factory growth and as major central
banks said they would keep monetary stimulus in place.
Stocks were broadly higher, with all 10 S&P 500 sectors in the black. Growth-sensitive financials, industrials and consumer discretionary shares registered the biggest gains. The Dow transportation average rose 3.2 percent, also at a new closing high.
