Telecom operator Jio has proposed to deposit ₹3,720 crore in an escrow account to complete the acquisition of Reliance Infratel which is undergoing a liquidation process.

The S&P 500 climbed 1.4% after seeing an even bigger rally from the morning disappear completely, only to recover at the end of the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.3% after veering from a gain of 610 points to a loss of 62, while the Nasdaq composite added 1.3%.
