NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 8, 2017 / U.S. markets all closed in the green on Thursday, with the S&P 500 Index breaking a 4-day losing streak. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.29 percent to close at 24,211.48, while the S&P 500 Index rose 0.29 percent to close at 2,636.98. The Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 0.54 percent to close at 6,812.84. Markets were lifted by a continued rally in technology shares, which were was under pressure earlier in the week due to profit taking. The Nasdaq dropped 1.6 percent from Friday to Tuesday.

"It?s not unusual for investors to move away from tech stocks that had done exceptionally well this year and into the losing sectors, such as retail. But that rotation seems to be not very serious at this point," said Maris Ogg, president at Tower Bridge Advisors, according to MarketWatch.

"We don?t think the tech sector is that expensive and as long as they can grow their earnings, their prices should be sustained," Ogg added.
