U.S. stocks drifted mostly higher Wednesday, closing near all-time highs on a rebound in technology stocks as signs of a COVID-19 vaccine sparked hopes of a quicker-than-expected economic recovery.

The rising hopes for a COVID-19 vaccine had pushed investors to reorder which stocks they saw winning and losing, with investors opting to scoop up shares of beaten down value stocks in industries like energy and financials that were battered early on in the pandemic. Value stocks are often defined as companies whose shares trade at cheap levels.

“It will take time for this rotation to complete its course. Investors who are patient and that have stayed diversified during these challenging times will be rewarded in the long run,” Weimer added. Elsewhere in the market, some of the massive rotation that swept through early this week also gave up momentum.

Many risks remain, the biggest perhaps whether investors have become too convinced about a potential COVID-19 vaccine just as coronavirus counts surge at worrying rates across the U.S. and Europe, prompting some governments to restore restrictions on businesses.
