Techs, commods lead S&P 500 to 29-month high


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - The S&P 500 closed at a 29-month high on Wednesday, led by gains in commodity and technology shares, as investors largely ignored the U.S. Federal Reserve's lukewarm economic assessment.

    The Dow Jones industrial average edged up 8.25 points, or 0.07 percent, to end unofficially at 11,985.44, after flirting with levels just above 12,000 earlier in the day. The Standard & Poor's 500 rose 5.45 points, or 0.42 percent, to finish unofficially at 1,296.63. The Nasdaq Composite gained 20.25 points, or 0.74 percent, to close unofficially at 2,739.50.

    The S&P 500 closed at its highest level since late August 2008.
