U.S. stocks rallied Wednesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average reclaiming the 25,000 level for the first time in over a month, after getting a double dose of boost from the Federal Reserve’s unanimous decision to stand pat on interest rates as well as solid corporate results.
Solid earnings from Boeing Co. helped to propel the Dow Jones Industrial Average higher while technology shares got a lift from better-than-expected quarterly results from Apple Inc.
