Wall Street jumps after ISM and construction data


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks extended gains to rise more than 1 percent on Monday after data showed manufacturing expanded at a faster pace than forecast in October while construction spending rose unexpectedly in September.

    The Dow Jones industrial average gained 115.11 points, or 1.04 percent, to 11,233.60. The Standard & Poor's 500 rose 11.31 points, or 0.96 percent, to 1,194.57. The Nasdaq Composite added 22.52 points, or 0.90 percent, to 2,529.93.

    Stocks earlier opened higher as strong Chinese factory data prompted investors to head for more risky assets.
