WASHINGTON—U.S. stocks climbed on Nov. 4 amid election uncertainty in several key battleground states.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 600 points in mid-afternoon as a tight presidential race unfolded in battleground Michigan. The S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq Composite also were trading sharply higher. Gains in the S&P 500 were led by health care, communication services, and information technology stocks.
