The main US stock indices rose on Thursday, but only slightly, due to the cooling of enthusiasm caused by the tax plan of President Donald Trump.
Some support for the market was provided by data on the United States. As it became known, real GDP increased by 3.1% year-on-year in the second quarter, according to the "third" estimate published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP increased by 1.2%. Today's GDP estimate is based on more complete initial data than was available for the "second" estimate released last month. In the second estimate, real GDP growth was 3.0%.
In addition, the number of Americans applying for new unemployment benefits rose last week, at least in part reflecting the loss of work due to hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Initial applications for unemployment benefits, which reflect national layoffs, increased by 12,000 to 272,000, seasonally adjusted for the week ending September 23, the Ministry of Labor said on Thursday. Economists were expecting 270,000 new applications.
Most components of the DOW index finished trading in positive territory (19 out of 30). The leader of growth was the shares of McDonald's Corporation (MCD, + 2.39%). Outsider were shares United Technologies Corporation (UTX, -1.32%).
Most sectors of the S & P index recorded an increase. The utilities sector grew most (+ 0.3%). The largest decrease was observed in the services sector (-0.2%).

Nasdaq + 0.00% 6,453.45 +0.19

Before the bell: S&P futures -0.16%, NASDAQ futures -0.30%
U.S. stock-index futures fell slightly on Thursday, as investors continued to digest the President Donald Trump's tax-reform plan, which pushed the stock market modestly higher on Wednesday. The focus also is on a batch of economic data, including the final estimate of second quarter GDP and weekly initial jobless claims count.

U.S. stocks rose on Wednesday, with the Dow industrials ending a four-day losing streak and the small-cap Russell 2000 notching a record close as President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans touted a sweeping tax overhaul. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.25% rose 56.39 points, or 0.3%, to end at 22,340.71, erasing an earlier loss. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.41% rose 10.2 points, or 0.4%, to close at 2,507.04, less than 0.1% from a record close set last week.
European stocks advanced for a fifth straight session on Wednesday, with banks rising on expectations of higher U.S. interest rates and Alstom shares rallying after its rail merger with Siemens. The Stoxx Europe Index SXXP, +0.41% added 0.4% to end at 385.62, marking its highest close since July 17, according to FactSet data.
Asian equities lacked direction early Thursday, with rising bond yields boosting finance stocks in Japan and Australia, though Chinese markets experienced selling pressure ahead of a week-long holiday. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average NIK, +0.50% pared early gains and was last up 0.3%, recovering from Wednesday's declines when companies paid dividends. The gains also come as the yen continued to pull back, with the U.S. dollar marking a 2½-month high in late New York trade.
