Tech stocks led the rally. Volatility cooled down. Here is a clear look at how Wall Street performed.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"252\" data-end=\"294\">Dow Jones and S&P 500 performance today<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"495\">Dow Jones closed at 49,174.50. It opened at 48,827.80. The index touched a high of 49,295.21 and a low of 48,752.74. It gained 370.44 points. That is a rise of 0.76%. Trading volume stood at 526.19M.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"497\" data-end=\"662\">S&P 500 ended at 6,890.07. It opened at 6,837.37. The day\u2019s high was 6,899.17 while the low was 6,815.43. The index added 52.32 points. That is an increase of 0.77%.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"664\" data-end=\"841\">Both indices posted solid gains. The movement shows steady investor confidence. The S&P 500 is now trading near its daily high. That signals strong demand till the closing bell.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"883\">Nasdaq surge and Small Cap 2000 rally<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"885\" data-end=\"1083\">Nasdaq closed at 22,863.68. It opened at 22,641.60. The index hit a high of 22,895.48 and a low of 22,528.26. It gained 236.41 points. That equals a jump of 1.04%. Trading volume was heavy at 1.44B.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1239\">Small Cap 2000 ended at 2,652.33. It opened at 2,620.31. The high was 2,656.14 and the low was 2,619.03. It climbed 31.34 points. That is a gain of 1.20%.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1383\">Small caps outperformed large caps in percentage terms. Nasdaq also showed strong momentum. This suggests risk appetite is back in the market.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1385\" data-end=\"1423\">VIX volatility index falls below 20<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1425\" data-end=\"1561\">S&P 500 VIX closed at 19.02. It opened at 19.59. The high was 19.62 and the low was 18.96. It fell 0.53 points. That is a drop of 2.71%.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1681\">A VIX level below 20 often signals lower fear in the market. The fall in volatility matches the broad rally in stocks.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1683\" data-end=\"1903\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Overall US markets ended the session in green. Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq and Small Cap 2000 all posted gains. At the same time the VIX declined. The data points to strong bullish sentiment and stable trading conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US stock markets closed higher with strong buying across major indices.
