US stock indexes are showing growth following the results of Wednesday's trading amid easing concerns about the situation in the banking sector. At the same time, the S&P 500 index reached a maximum in three weeks, including due to the growth of stock prices of technology companies.


The Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 323.35 points (1%) and reached 32717.6 points.


The Standard & Poor's 500 rose by 56.54 points (1.4%) to 4,027.81 points during the day.

Representatives of the Federal Reserve System (FRS) note that the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, most likely, will not entail long-term consequences and will become an isolated case.
