How major US stock indexes fared Thursday, 7/17/2025

Wall Street rose to more records following some better-than-expected updates on the economy.

The S&P 500 climbed 0.5% Thursday, beating the all-time high it set last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.5%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.7%.

PepsiCo jumped 7.5% after delivering revenue and profit that topped Wall Street’s expectations. A strong profit report from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. lifted tech stocks. That helped offset drops for some big health care companies following their latest profit reports.

Treasury yields held mostly steady after better-than-expected reports on retail sales and unemployment claims.
