The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) inched up on Thursday, February 6, 2025, despite an increase in US weekly jobless claims. The DJIA closed at 38,584, up 0.3% from the previous day's opening level. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also posted gains, rising 0.96% and 1.71%, respectively.

The US initial jobless claims data for the week ending February 1, 2025, came in at 217,000, exceeding the forecasted 210,000 and rising from the previous week's 203,000. This increase in jobless claims suggests a potential slowdown in the labor market and the broader economy.

However, investors seemed to focus on the positive fundamentals of Big Tech and insurance sectors, which helped drive the market higher. Apple (AAPL) and Nike (NKE) led the winners, with Apple's stock rallying 3.8% to $174.27 and Nike's stock rising 3.7% to $92.33. Travelers Companies (TRV), the worst performer of the index, fell 1.31% to $221.26.
