Stocks rise as Trump tweets on stimulus keep market spinning

Stocks closed broadly higher on Wall Street Wednesday after President Donald Trump appeared to backtrack on his decision to halt talks on another rescue effort for the economy.

The S&P 500 climbed 1.7% after Trump sent a series of tweets late Tuesday saying he’s open to sending out

$1,200 payments to Americans, as well as limited programs to prop up the airline industry and small businesses.
