Thursday's data was "soothing concerns over a U.S. economic recession,'' according to senior markets economist James Reilly at Capital Economics.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up by 683.04 points, or 1.8%, at 39,446.49, based on preliminary data.
The S&P 500 closed up by 119.81 points, or 2.3%, at 5,319.31. On a percentage basis, it was the index's best day since Nov. 30, 2022.
The Nasdaq Composite closed up by 464.22 points, or 2.9%, at 16,660.02

Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had forecast new claims to total 240,000, based on seasonally adjusted figures.
A surge in new claims at the end of July appeared to stem mostly from people in Texas being unable to work after Hurricane Beryl.
