U.S. stocks ticked up on Wednesday, allowing the S&P 500 and Dow industrials to set fresh record highs.
Focus has now turned to Thursday's meeting at the Bank of England, expected to turn to quantitative easing as it tries to shield the economy from the fallout of Britain's vote last month to leave the European Union.
Continued support from monetary policies across the developed world and strong economic data in the United States have given investors a reason to bid growth-sensitive sectors of the stock market. This turn to cyclical stocks could help take the rally beyond the current record highs.
While second-quarter earnings of S&P 500 companies are currently expected to fall 5 percent, they may indicate that the first quarter marked a bottom for the earnings contraction. Most on Wall Street expect growth to resume in the second half of the year.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 24.45 points, or 0.13 percent, to 18,372.12; the S&P 500 ticked up 0.29 points, or 0.01 percent, to 2,152.43 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 17.09 points, or 0.34 percent, to 5,005.73.
