The Dow rose for a seventh straight session, led by gains in UnitedHealth Group, which rose 2.7 percent at USD 122.51.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 47.37 points, or 0.28 percent, to 17,131.86, the S&P 500 gained 2.57 points, or 0.13 percent, to 2,017.46 and the Nasdaq Composite added 8.17 points, or 0.17 percent, to 4,838.64.
