Dow pauses after six-day rally; tech stocks rise

The S&P technology sector, which had fallen about 3 percent since Donald Trump's shock victory, rose 1.19 percent. Tech giants Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet provided the biggest boost to the S&P and the Dow. Both the S&P and the Dow rallied in the past week since Trump's victory on expectations of higher fiscal spending and lower regulations in the financial and environmental sectors.
