Nasdaq 100 extends record run to above 20,075 as S+P 500 shies away for now

Earlier this afternoon the S+P 500 came very close to setting a new all time high, when it lifted to 5,521.40 after the disappointing US ISM data gave more impetus to stocks generally speaking. However, it has so far shied away from rising above the current all time high, at 5,523.64. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq 100 has not looked back after a slightly lower opening (19,995) today. The index has now risen above 20,075 in the past couple of minutes and once again it is tech that is leading the way for the UDS stock markets, with a helping hand from some really poor economic data today.
