The US markets ended higher on Wednesday to recover from two straight days of losses as investors piled into shares most sensitive to the economic recovery. Stocks linked to the economy reopening saw significant strength on the day, with shares of Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH) spiking by 10.3 percent. The jump by Norwegian comes after Goldman Sachs upgraded its rating on the cruise line operators stock to Buy from Neutral. Rivals Carnival and Royal Caribbean were also posting strong gains. Intuitive Surgical, Edwards Lifesciences, and Tenet Healthcare also moved notably higher after reporting better than expected quarterly results.
Besides, reflecting the strength among reopening plays, airline stocks showed a strong move back to the upside, driving the NYSE Arca Airline Index up by 3 percent. The index rebounded after tumbling to a two-month closing low on Tuesday. Substantial strength also emerged among semiconductor stocks, as reflected by the 2.8 percent jump by the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. Chemical stocks also turned in a strong performance, with the S&P Chemical Sector Index surging up by 2.3 percent to a record closing high.
Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 316.01 points or 0.93 percent to 34,137.31, Nasdaq surged 163.95 points or 1.19 percent to 13,950.22 and S&P 500 was up by 38.48 points or 0.93 percent to 4,173.42.
