(Reuters) – Wall Street’s main indexes were slightly higher in late morning trading on Thursday, helped by gains in technology stocks.
A mere 0.4 percent rise in Apple led the three indexes higher, an indication of the muted trading activity in the week ahead of the New Year holiday.
Commodities were in the spotlight, with oil prices near their two-and-a-half-year highs and copper <CMCU3> at four-year peak, helping global equities hit record levels.
