The three major US stock indexes closed higher on Wednesday, led by the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The Dow rose 0.79%, or 265.62 points, to close at 33,917.36. The S&P 500 gained 0.47%, or 19.31 points, to end at 4,148.26. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.28%, or 35.66 points, to finish at 12,581.92. The Nasdaq's smaller gain was due in part to weakness in technology stocks. Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Alphabet (GOOGL) all closed lower. Despite the Nasdaq's lag, the S&P 500 and Dow managed to finish higher as investors bought into sectors like financials and energy. JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Chevron (CVX), and Exxon Mobil (XOM) all closed higher. The US stock market has been on a roller coaster ride in recent weeks as investors grapple with concerns about inflation, interest rates, and the war in Ukraine. However, the market has been able to recover some of its losses in recent days. ```
