The Closing Bell: US Stock Indexes Move Higher In Afternoon Trading; Oil Rises
FYI: Technology companies and banks led U.S. stock indexes modestly higher in afternoon trading Thursday, extending gains from the day before. Big retail chains and other consumer-focused stocks were among the gainers. Health care companies were among the laggards. Investors were making moves ahead of the next corporate earnings reporting season, which ramps up Friday.
