Wall Street sets another record after US stocks tick higher

The U.S. stock market ticked upward to another record high. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% Thursday, a day after topping its prior all-time high set in January, for its 11th gain in 12 days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.4%. Strong profit reports from several big U.S. companies helped support the market and offset a climb for oil prices. The price for a barrel of Brent crude rose back above $99. Treasury yields edged higher in the bond market, while stock indexes rose in much of Europe and Japan.
