Wall Street closed mostly higher to notch more records.
The S&P 500 added 0.3% Wednesday and set an all-time high for a second straight day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.5%, and the Nasdaq composite inched up less than 0.1% to add to its record set the day before.
Oracle helped lead the way after giving a stunning forecast for revenue growth in upcoming years, but a drop for Apple weighed on indexes. Treasury yields eased following a surprisingly encouraging report on inflation at the wholesale level. That backed expectations for coming cuts to interest rates.
