The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 260.31 points, or 0.53%, closing at 49,501.30 on Wednesday. This rise came as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq slipped, with investors shying away from expensive tech stocks and favoring safer sectors. The S&P 500 dropped 35.09 points, or 0.51%, to 6,882.72, while the Nasdaq slid 350.61 points, or 1.51%, to 22,904.58 after Advanced Micro Devices tumbled 17% following a disappointing revenue forecast. “The market is suddenly skeptical and concerned,” said Jed Ellerbroek, portfolio manager at Argent Capital.
