Wall Street rises on banks, resources


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks rose on Thursday as a brokerage's upbeat view on U.S. banks drove a run-up in financials, while soaring prices of oil and other commodities lifted shares of natural resource companies.

    Based on the latest available figures, the Dow Jones industrial average gained 73.66 points, or 0.85 percent, to close at 8,748.94. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 10.44 points, or 1.12 percent, to 942.20. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 24.10 points, or 1.32 percent, to 1,850.02.
