NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street still doesn't seem to care much about the latest shutdown of the U.S. government , and U.S. stocks are rising toward more records on Wednesday, but yields are sinking in the bond market following the latest discouraging signals on the economy.
The S&P 500 rose 0.4% and was on track to top its all-time high set last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was adding 105 points, or 0.2%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.5% higher, with an hour remaining in trading.
