Stock indexes Thursday finished mostly higher, with the Nasdaq 100 posting a 1-week high.  Strength in technology stocks led the overall market higher Thursday as Apple closed up more than +4% after it said it plans to overhaul its entire Mac computer line with in-house processors designed to highlight artificial intelligence. Also, chip stocks rallied Thursday on speculation that upcoming Q1 earnings results will show strong demand for microchips.
