Financial stocks in broad rally, with J.P. Morgan leading the Dow's gainers
Financial stocks traded broadly higher, with the group the biggest gainer among the S&P 500's 11 sectors, as the jump in Treasury yields helped provide a boost to the banks. The SPDR Financial Select Sector ETF ran up 1.5% toward a six-month high, with 62 of 68 equity components trading higher. Among the Dow Jones Industrial Average's financial components, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s stock was up 2.5% to be the Dow's biggest gainer and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s stock climbed 2.3%.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose 3.7 basis points to a four-month high of 3.085% after better-than-expected housing starts data.

Equal-weight S&P 500 ETF hits record for second straight session
An exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&P 500 but weights each of the index's components equally hit a record on Wednesday, in the latest sign that the market's uptrend has been fairly broad-based. The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF rose 0.2% on Wednesday and was on track for its second straight record close. The fund is up 7% thus far this year, below the 8.7% rise of the unadjusted S&P 500 , where the influence of each individual component on the overall index is dictated by their market capitalization. The S&P overall has been supported in large part by the outperformance of large-cap technology and internet stocks, a group often referred to as the FAANG stocks. The concentration of those gains have had some investors concerned about market breadth, but the rally in the equal-weighted ETF suggests a good deal of the market is participating in the rally. Since the start of July, 10 of the 11 S&P 500 sectors are in positive territory. Recent gains in the market have come as investors shrug off signs of escalating tensions between the U.S. and China on trade policy, focusing instead on strong corporate profits and improving economic data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.6% on Wednesday while the S&P rose 0.1%. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.3%, pressured by weakness in tech stocks.
