US Equity Indexes Advance as Iran Reviews Washington's Peace Proposal

US equity indexes rose as President Donald Trump appeared open to giving Iran time to review Washington's latest proposal to agree on a framework for a peace deal.The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.5% to 26,390.2, with the S&P 500 up 0.4% to 7,462.7 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average higher by 0.6% to 50,324.7 in Thursday's midday trading. All three indexes traded lower earlier in the session.All sectors, except energy, consumer staples, and real estate, rose.
