S&P 500 rises to the highest level in five months Thursday as Meta leads a tech comeback
The S&P 500 rose to its highest level in five months on Thursday as better-than-expected Meta results further improved sentiment around technology shares, which led the market lower last year.
The broader market index jumped 1.4%, or its best level since August. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite advanced about 3% to its highest level since September. The gains come ahead of a trio of Big Tech results after the bell in Apple, Amazon and Alphabet.
Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average underperformed, falling 102 points, or about 0.3%. The major index was dragged by Merck shares after the pharmaceutical firm issued a weak outlook in its latest earnings results, despite beating estimates on the top and bottom lines.
Meta surged more than 25% in its best day since 2013 after reporting a fourth-quarter beat on revenue and announcing a $40 billion stock buyback. That helped investors look past losses in the business unit overseeing the metaverse.
Other mega-cap tech stocks rose on the back of those results. Shares of Google-parent Alphabet were up more than 6%, while Amazon jumped more than 6%. Apple shares gained more than 3%.
Tech stocks have outperformed in 2023, buoyed by recent signals of cooling inflation that investors expect could lead to a pause from the Federal Reserve in its aggressive rate hiking campaign. The S&P 500 information technology sector is up more than 14% this year after a decline of more than 28% last year.
“It’s showing that growth is outperforming value as it unwinds some of the pressures that hawkish rhetoric brought to risk markets over the course of 2022,” said Keith Buchanan, senior portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments.
Wall Street is coming off a winning session after the Fed on Wednesday announced a 0.25 percentage point interest rate hike. While the central bank gave no indication of an upcoming pause in rate hikes, investors were encouraged by the smaller increase and Chair Jerome Powell’s comments recognizing easing inflation.
Traders are awaiting the latest jobs report Friday that will give further insight into the labor market. Any signs of cooling could suggest to investors that further rate hikes are off the table.
Winter weather storm warning extended to Thursday morning
The cold weather and icy conditions coating North Texas are likely to continue through Thursday morning as the National Weather Service extends its winter weather storm warning.
The warning, originally set to last Monday through Wednesday, is now set to expire at 6 a.m. Thursday.
The storm — which brought freezing rain, sleet, and iced over roadways, to the region Monday — caused schools and businesses to close through at least Tuesday, canceled flights out of DFW International and Love Field airports, and sent cars sliding on the highways.
“Widespread icing on bridges and overpasses as well as surface streets is expected with travel significantly impacted,” the weather service said. “There is a low chance of some downed powerlines and tree damage due to ice.”
A live radar can be viewed below, along with the latest updates from reporters at The Dallas Morning News:
11:02 a.m.: City garbage collection canceled
The City of Dallas’ garbage and recycling collection was canceled Tuesday due to road conditions, officials said. It was unclear if the pickups would resume Wednesday.
10:38 a.m.: Storm moves over Dallas
The storm shifted over Dallas, bringing with it light to moderate sleet and freezing rain in some areas, according to the weather service. Sleet accumulation could increase to a half-inch or inch.
10:38 AM: This line of light to moderate sleet has shifted east and is over the Dallas side of the Metroplex, over areas north and east. Expect sleet accumulations of up to 0.5 inches, perhaps up to 1 inch. Freezing rain could be falling with this as well. #dfwwx #txwx pic.twitter.com/PZVeV5MOVo

10:28 a.m.: Wreck shuts down I-35 in Denton
A stretch of northbound I-35W in Denton is closed due to a jackknifed 18-wheeler blocking all lanes, Denton police said on Twitter. Traffic is being diverted at the Crawford exit to Highway 377.
Lanes will be closed until at least 11:30 a.m. Drivers should seek alternate routes, police say.
9:50 a.m.: Flights canceled
DFW International Airport said on Twitter that it is monitoring the forecast and treating runways, roads, bridges and pedestrian walkways for ice.
Passengers should check their flight status with the airline before heading to the airport, allow extra time to get there and approach entrance plazas with caution, the airport said.
By mid-morning Tuesday, more than one-third of flights in and out of DFW and Dallas Love Airport had been canceled, according to FlightAware, a flight tracking site.

9:40 a.m.: As several city buildings close, libraries set to open
The hazardous road conditions caused several city buildings to close Tuesday, including Dallas Municipal Court and all recreation centers.
As of 8:15 a.m., city libraries — which double as warming centers during inclement weather — are set to open at noon, but city officials say people should call locations ahead of time to verify they’re open before heading over.
Additionally, a scheduled city council committee meeting scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday was postponed until Feb. 7.
8:49 a.m.: Business as usual in some places
The Kroger on E. Mockingbird Lane was open for business despite the icy roads surrounding it Tuesday morning. The parking lot was a mix of slush and newly fallen freezing rain.
About a dozen customers walked through the aisles, grabbing last-minute foods and necessities as an intercom announcement echoed: “Attention employees: Please report to Starbucks for a free coffee.”
The nearby 7/11 at the corner of Greenville Avenue was also open for customers needing to fill up on coffee or gas.
7:45 a.m.: ‘Thunder sleet’ begins to move through D-FW
Just after 7:30 a.m., the National Weather Service said a “moderate band” of sleet was beginning to move through the metroplex, in addition to areas both west and east.
The weather service said to expect a few isolated thunderstorms with bursts of both sleet and freezing rain to continue throughout the morning, adding sleet accumulations will “average a quarter of an inch, with isolated totals up to one inch.”
“This will lead to ice packed roads and treacherous driving conditions,” the weather service said.
In the Hollywood-Santa Monica neighborhood of East Dallas, on the edge of Lakewood, the “thunder sleet” began falling at 7:50 a.m. so furiously that in three minutes, the roads and rooftops went from looking completely clear to covered in white.
As Dallas Morning News columnist Sharon Grigsby described the scene: “It sounds like glass breaking on the roof.”
6 a.m: Icy roads
North Texans have been urged to stay home throughout the storm if possible, but Dallas city officials said for those still needing to make a commute, TxDOT work crews are on 24-hour shifts to treat roads and highways.
Madison Schein, a TxDOT Dallas spokeswoman, said people who have to drive should plan routes ahead of time and to look for information on drivetexas.org.
“We started pretreating roads with brine a few days ago and we’re continuing with brine,” Schein said. “Now we’re doing salt and sand mix as needed and we’ll continue to adjust our operations as the storm moves through our area.”
The city said it will also be using a salt and sand mixture to treat roads close to emergency facilities and icy bridges.
Hundreds of drivers were in a multi-hour gridlock Tuesday morning on Interstate 20 in Palo Pinto and Parker counties. The traffic resulted in at least a 20-mile backup, KDFW-TV reported.
Traffic Alert (Parker County) Eastbound I20 west of Weatherford has been gridlocked for hours due to “treacherous conditions impacting travel,” says TxDOT. Many residents have sat in traffic going on 4+ hours with no relief in sight. pic.twitter.com/RnuQmhuT7k

In the Fort Worth area, there were more than 140 reported motor vehicle collisions with reported injuries as of 5 a.m. Tuesday, including 16 were rollover crashes, according to Matt Zavadsky, a spokesman for MedStar.
There were also eight hypothermia-related calls, Zavadsky said. Seven people required hospitalization and five of those were in serious condition.
In addition, nine people were injured in falls from slipping on ice, Zavadsky said.
“Out of an abundance of caution,” Zavadsky said MedStar suspended the use of lights and siren responses as of 11:30 p.m. Monday to prevent crashes as motorists attempt to move out of the way for ambulances.
“An ambulance that does not arrive on the scene of an emergency is not able to help patients,” he said. “It’s better, and safer, to respond a little slower, assure we arrive, and don’t cause any injuries on the way to the call.”
Grid expected to meet demand
The Public Utility Commission of Texas and Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, the state’s main grid operator, have said they expect the grid to be able to handle “forecasted demand” brought on by this week’s storm.
In a written statement Monday afternoon, Peter Lake, the chairman of the utility commission, echoed ERCOT’s message and said people should continue reporting local outages.
“Our biggest concern is power line safety, especially in areas that experience icing,” Lake wrote. “Ice can weigh down lines and topple tree limbs causing local power outages.”
Weather warms up later in the week
The forecast calls for more sleet and freezing rain Tuesday with temperatures hovering in the high 20s all day. Up to a half inch of ice could accumulate.
Travel has the potential to become “life-threatening,” according to the weather service. Road conditions could improve by the afternoon, but water on the roads could freeze once again overnight, worsening conditions for Wednesday morning.
These conditions continue Wednesday before warming up to the 40s with rain on Thursday. The weekend should be sunny with temperatures in the 50s and 60s.

Thump of snow coming Wednesday afternoon, followed by rain into Thursday
By Terry Eliasen, WBZ-TV Meteorologist, Executive Weather Producer
BOSTON – The next storm system looks like this most recent one, except in reverse. This time around, we’ll do the snow first and rain second.
A front-end thump of snow is expected to begin Wednesday afternoon and take us into the first half of the night, bringing a chance of 3-to-6 inches across many interior locations and lesser amounts the farther south or close to the coastline you go.
CBS Boston
This is expected to make for another slow and challenging evening commute on Wednesday with snow covered roads, so plan accordingly!
CBS Boston
As the night wears on, milder air will surge in and start changing snow over to a mixture of ice and rain across the interior, with plain rainfall developing to the south and east. A sloppy night will take place Wednesday as downpours fall over the initial snow and temperatures rise.
By daybreak Thursday, most of southeastern Massachusetts will have popped into the 50s with strong wind gusts, while interior areas will make it to the low 40s during the day Thursday. This warm-up, along with the rain, should wipe out overnight snow in the southeast corner of the state but leave a soggy mess of snow and slush for more inland locales.
The good news is that the rain should end early in the day, so impacts for the morning commute should be somewhat limited Thursday.
Stay with WBZ-TV, CBSBoston.com and CBS News Boston this week for frequent updates as we navigate through one of the busiest weeks of winter!

Serbs in northern Kosovo to start removing barricades from Thursday
MITROVICA, Kosovo, Dec 28 (Reuters) – Kosovo Serbs who have been blocking roads in northern Kosovo for 19 days have agreed to start removing barricades from Thursday morning, bowing to calls by the United States and European Union to defuse tensions.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic who met Serbs from northern Kosovo in the Serbian town of Raska said the process of removing barricades will begin on Thursday morning.
“It is a long process and it will take a while,” Vucic said.
He also added that the United States and European Union, which are mediating talks between Belgrade and Pristina to resolve outstanding bilateral issues, have guaranteed that none of the Serbs who set up barricades will be prosecuted.
Removal of the barricades is expected to defuse tensions between Belgrade and Pristina.
For more than 20 years, Kosovo has been a source of tension between the West, which backed its independence, and Russia, which supports Serbia in its efforts to block Kosovo’s membership of global organisations including the United Nations.
The United States, NATO and European Union urged maximum restraint in the north of Kosovo, as authorities closed a third border crossing on Wednesday and tensions escalated with local Serbs over its 2008 independence.
NATO’s mission in Kosovo, KFOR, said it supported dialogue between all parties to defuse tensions, which have included Serb roadblocks on major arteries by trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles and violent clashes with police.
Serbia put its army on its highest alert on Monday.
The Kremlin, for its part, denied Kosovo interior minister’s claims that Russia was influencing Serbia to destabilise Kosovo, saying that Serbia was defending the rights of ethnic Serbs.

A former Kosovo Serb policeman, whose arrest triggered violent protests by Kosovo’s Serb minority, was released from custody and put under house arrest after a request from the prosecutors’ office, a spokesperson for the Pristina Basic Court told Reuters.
Dejan Pantic was arrested on Dec. 10 for assaulting a serving police officer. Since then, Serbs in northern Kosovo have exchanged fire with police and erected more than 10 roadblocks, demanding his release.
The court decision angered Kosovo government officials, including Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Justice Minister Albulena Haxhiu.
“I don’t know how to understand it and how it is possible that someone who is accused of such a serious crime related to terrorism goes to house arrest,” Haxhiu said.
“I am very curious to see who is the prosecutor who makes this request, who is the judge of preliminary procedure that approves it,” Kurti said.
Pantic was one of many Serbs who left the police and other institutions after Pristina said it would enforce a law requiring Serbs to scrap Serbian-issued car licence plates dating back to before the 1998-99 guerrilla uprising that led to Kosovo’s independence.
Serbs in northern Kosovo, which they believe to be still part of Serbia, resist any moves they see as anti-Serb.
Two border crossings between Serbia and Kosovo were closed on Dec. 10 and a third one, the biggest one for road freight, Merdare, was closed to traffic on Wednesday, disrupting journeys of Kosovars working elsewhere in Europe from returning home for the holidays.
Around 50,000 Serbs living in northern Kosovo refuse to recognise the government in Pristina or the status of Kosovo as a separate country. They have the support of many Serbs in Serbia and its government.
Albanian-majority Kosovo declared independence with the backing of the West, following a 1998-99 war in which NATO intervened to protect ethnic Albanian citizens.

Two AFC playoff hopefuls are battling this Thursday night, as the New York Jets are hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars in rainy, windy MetLife Stadium. The first half belonged to the Jaguars, as they acquired a 13-3 halftime lead. Jacksonville went 96 yards on 16 plays early in the second quarter to score the first touchdown of the game, as the 6-foot-6 Trevor Lawrence punched it in himself from 1 yard out.
The No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks in the 2021 NFL Draft are battling Mother Nature as well tonight, as a wind advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service. Winds are expected to be blowing at 20 to 25 mph for the game, but there could be gusts that get up to 30 or even 50 mph. That didn’t stop Jaguars kicker Riley Patterson, who converted two of three field goal attempts in the first half.
The Jaguars have won four out of their past six games while the Jets have lost five out of their past seven. Will Jacksonville put more pressure on the Tennessee Titans in the AFC South with a win, or will the Jets further their case in the wild card race? Follow along in the live blog below, as we break down this prime-time matchup as it happens.
