Wall Street stocks finished higher on Thursday following a volatile session as investors weighed massive government stimulus measures against some of the first data pointing to the sharp US economic slowdown.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.0 percent to 20,087.40, after swinging more than 1,200 points during the day.
The broad-based S&P 500 climbed 0.5 percent to 2,409.40, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 2.3 percent to 7,150.58, as large technology companies led the market. (AFP)
