Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., and Tesla Inc. pushed the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 up 1.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial finished lower with investors favoring growth over value shares again. The benchmark S&P 500 set an intra-day high, retreating from a record closing level in the last moments of trading.

Data for March showed U.S. private employers added the most jobs in six months, adding to evidence that the vaccine drive and business reopening are encouraging hiring. On the other hand, however, the market shrugged off the worst-than-expectation data of pending home sales which record 10.6 contractions.

Investors, rattled this week by the meltdown at Bill Hwang’s Archegos Capital Management, are turning their attention to growth and inflation as volatility spurred by the forced sales subsides. While Europe’s struggle with inoculations and the resurgence of the coronavirus have tempered growth expectations, the U.S. vaccine rollout is surpassing targets.
