NEW YORK: Wall Street stocks ended at fresh records on Thursday , a buoyant start to the 2020 trading campaign that extended the late-2019 rally.The broad-based S&P 500 gained 27.07 points to 3,257.85, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 119.58 points to 9,092.19, its biggest single-session gain in nearly three months.
