NEW YORK — Apple led a rebound in technology shares and boosted all three major U.S. stock indexes on Thursday, while trade worries eased after China welcomed new talks with the United States. The Dow inched closer to its all-time high hit on Jan. 26, closing at its highest since Feb. 1 and just 1.8 percent below the Jan. 26 close. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq had already moved past their January peaks to record highs in prior weeks. The S&P technology index climbed 1.2 percent on the day, its biggest percentage gain since Aug. 2, boosted by Apple's 2.4 percent gain. The timing of a new round of trade talks remains unclear and President Donald Trump said the United States was under no pressure to make a deal with China.
