Stocks rallied globally as investors rushed back into technology and health-care firms on bets that the U.S. election results will trigger no major tax hikes or regulatory changes that would derail the sectors.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 jumped another 2.6% after the underlying gauge surged on Wednesday, when the vote count failed to produce a clear Democratic sweep as some had expected.

Treasuries held onto modest gains after U.S. jobless claims fell less than anticipated.
