The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite closed at all-time highs on Wednesday, buoyed by investor optimism after President Donald Trump announced a new trade agreement with Vietnam. The benchmark S&P 500 notched another record close, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq also set a fresh peak.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged the broader market, ending the session modestly lower. Traders attributed the divergence to sector rotation as investors weighed potential beneficiaries of expanded U.S.–Vietnam commerce.

Details of the agreement were not immediately disclosed, but the White House framed the pact as a step toward deepening economic ties with the fast-growing Southeast Asian nation. Market participants said they will look for specifics on tariff reductions, market access and supply-chain provisions in the coming days.
