By Caroline Valetkevitch (Reuters) - The Dow and S&P 500 rose on Wednesday, powered by banks stocks, as optimism for an economic recovery as lockdowns continued to ease overshadowed worries of simmering U.S.-China tensions. Declines in technology shares limited the advance, with the Nasdaq underperforming the other major indexes. The S&P 500 financial index provided the biggest boost to the benchmark index, sending it past the psychologically key 3,000 level in intraday trading for a second day in a row.
