S&P 500 Rises 2% in Biggest Intraday Gain in Three Months

The S&P 500 climbed 2% during U.S. trading Nov. 9, marking its largest intraday percentage gain in three months as the Nasdaq Composite and Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose.

The Nasdaq Composite advanced 2.4%, the biggest percentage move among the three indexes in the market snapshot. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.6%. All three benchmarks were higher at the same point in the session, with the Nasdaq leading and the Dow posting the smallest rise.

The S&P 500's gain had widened to 2% during trading, making it the index's largest intraday rise over the previous three months. That comparison concerns the size of the move during a session. It does not describe a closing gain or a three-month high in the index's level.

The figures capture a single point in an ongoing U.S. trading day. They show the Nasdaq rising faster than the S&P 500, while the Dow also participated in the advance. The indexes' final gains for Nov. 9 may differ from these intraday readings.
