The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) edged up 32,07 points, or 0.1%, to 27,681.85. The blue-chip index rose by as much as 96 points earlier in the session.  The large-cap S&P 500 Index (SPY) climbed 0.2% to close at 3,117.71. Gains were primarily concentrated in materials, information technology and financials stocks.  Meanwhile, the technology-focused Nasdaq Composite Index (QQQ) edged up 0.1% to 8,570.70.  A measure of 30-day volatility known as the CBOE VIX (VXX) edged slightly lower on Thursday, signaling calm on Wall Street. The so-called "investor fear index" reached an intraday low of 14.17 on a scale of 1-100 where 20 represents the historic average. It would eventually settle down 2.6% at 14.42.  In economic data, U.S. initial jobless claims plunged to fresh seven-month lows last week, easing fears of a slowing economy.

Orders plunged 0.8% the previous month.  The Final Word: Stocks remain well supported near record highs, but conflicting signals about U.S.-China trade talks could weigh on risk assets.
