US stocks up

Posted by 7Star Thursday, January 21, 2010

US stocks rose broadly on Tuesday, lifting the Dow and the S&P 500 to fresh 15-month closing highs as investors bet a potential Republican victory in Massachusetts' Senate race could stall Obama's reform agenda. Wall Street also got a boost from technology shares, which rallied in anticipation of strong earnings from bellwether International Business Machines Corp, which rose 1.8 percent to $134.14, making it the Dow's top boost.
