Stocks on Wall Street closed higher Thursday, building on their winning week, as investors sifted through a deluge of news about the economy, interest rates and corporate profits.
The S&P 500 rose 1 percent after shaking off an early stumble, returning to its highest level in six weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also recovered from a midafternoon slide to end 0.5 percent higher, while the Nasdaq composite rose 1.4 percent as Tesla and technology stocks led the market.
