Stocks finished higher Thursday as renewed strength in tech stocks pushed major indexes deeper into record territory. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both secured fresh all-time closes and extended their win streaks to six straight sessions, while the Dow also logged another record finish. Sentiment improved after Axios reported U.S. and Iranian negotiators agreed to a 60-day ceasefire extension framework and further nuclear talks, though President Donald Trump has not yet approved the deal.
