The S&P 500 rose 0.3% Thursday, its second record in a row. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.2%, eking out an all-time high of its own. The Nasdaq composite added 0.5%.
The advances were driven largely by gains in huge tech companies including Broadcom, Alphabet and Amazon, even as many stocks fell.
