In a significant upswing, Wall Street's main indexes climbed on Wednesday, propelled by Netflix's impressive financial performance and support from a hefty AI infrastructure plan unveiled by President Donald Trump. The S&P 500 soared to a new all-time high, reflecting heightened investor optimism.
Technology stocks took the lead with notable advancements. Netflix soared by 10.9% following a record surge in subscribers, bolstering the S&P 500 communication services sector by 2%.
