United States (US) stocks remained unchanged on Thursday as cautious investors awaited the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for September.
Looking at major index changes on Wednesday, the Dow rose 1.03%, the S&P 500 rose 0.71% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.6%.
The healthcare, technology and industrial sectors led the market's gains, with major tech companies such as Apple, Amazon and Broadcom performing well.
However, Alphabet shares fell by 1.6% after the US Justice Department hinted that it may ask a court to force Google to sell key parts of its business, such as its Chrome browser and Android system, to reduce its control over the search market.
Investors also checked the minutes of the September Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting published early this morning, which showed that many officials supported the aggressive rate cut, but future rate changes remained unclear.
