GLOBAL MARKET - LONDON/NEW YORK. The S&P 500 hit a record high on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would push for lower interest rates, providing a fillip to stock markets amid investor caution about his next moves on trade.

In a sign of policies to come, Trump told business leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday that he wants to lower global oil prices, interest rates and taxes, and warned of tariffs on exports to the United States.
