[NEW YORK] Wall Street stocks had a split finish on Thursday as investors looked for a possible outcome of grinding US-China trade negotiations, which failed to materialise.

The benchmark Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.6 per cent to 26,384.63, its highest level since October 9.

Meanwhile, the broader S&P 500 gained 0.2 per cent, rising to 2,879.39 but the tech-heavy Nasdaq was essentially flat, falling less than 0.1 per cent to 7,891.78.In Washington, White House officials on Thursday stoked anticipation that President Donald Trump could announce the date for a summit with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to finalise a trade agreement, thus ending their nine-month trade war.
