US equity markets were tentative for most of the day but a late flurry of buying defied a looming government shutdown and stocks finished near the highs of the day.
On the day:
- S&P 500 +0.4%
- Nasdaq Comp +0.3%
- DJIA +0.2%
- Russell 2000 -0.3%
- Toronto TSX Comp flat
The S&P 500 is just below last week’s all-time high.
