NEW YORK: US stocks rose on Wednesday, with each of the major indexes closing at a record high, as expectations grew that the Federal Reserve would take a more dovish turn as a raft of data provided more evidence of a slowing economy.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 179.04 points, or 0.67pc, to 26,965.72, the S&P 500 gained 22.75 points, or 0.77pc, to 2,995.76 and the Nasdaq Composite added 61.14 points, or 0.75pc, to 8,170.23.
