The S&P 500 and Dow closed within striking range of new record levels.

Bareksa.com - U.S. stock investors ignored weak economic data and pushed equities higher on Wednesday, as drugmakers' shares rose and a Supreme Court ruling lifted major broadcaster stocks, while German bond yields hit the year's low on safe-haven bids.

The dollar and Treasuries yields also fell after data showed the U.S. economy contracted more than thought in the first quarter and durable goods orders unexpectedly fell in May.
