Wall Street rises, S&P 500 at 2 1/2-month high


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks rose on Thursday for a third straight day, with the S&P 500 at a 2-1/2 month high as earnings from technology companies as well as hopes for more monetary stimulus outweighed weak economic data.

    Based on the latest available data, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 34.66 points, or 0.27 percent, at 12,943.36. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 3.73 points, or 0.27 percent, at 1,376.51. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 23.30 points, or 0.79 percent, at 2,965.90.
