NASDAQ led market rally and gained almost 200 points or 1.44%, followed by S&P with an increase of bit short of 50 points or 1.09%.

Meanwhile, the Dow also stepped forward by 220 points or 0.67%, crossing the 34,000 once more. Small caps even exceeded gains from major indexes, as Russel 2000 ended with an increase of more than 2%.
