European pledge lifts Wall Street 2 percent


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks rose sharply in early trading on Monday after a renewed pledge by France and Germany to come up with a plan to resolve the euro zone debt crisis by month's end lifted sentiment.

    The Dow Jones industrial average was up 232.20 points, or 2.09 percent, at 11,335.32. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 27.89 points, or 2.41 percent, at 1,183.35. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 60.84 points, or 2.45 percent, at 2,540.19.

    The benchmark S&P 500 traded above its 50-day moving average for the first time since late July. A close above it would be considered a bullish technical signal.
