Daily Small Cap Market News and Stock Highlights from SmallCapVoice.com

Fresh signs of healing in the manufacturing and banking industries are giving investors reason to extend a powerful July rally into a second month.

Stocks are rising in early trading Monday as gains in overseas markets fed the recent momentum on Wall Street that gave the market its best July in 20 years. World markets mostly rose as surveys in China and Europe showed manufacturing activity is improving. Investors are hoping that figures on the manufacturing industry in the U.S. released later Monday will reveal a similar trend.

Positive reports from European banks added to the day's upbeat news.

Barclays PLC said its first-half net profit increased 10 percent on stronger earnings from its investment banking division. HSBC Holdings PLC reported a 57 percent decline in its first-half profit, but results were better than anticipated. Still, losses from bad loans rose at both banks as consumers in the U.S. and Britain had trouble repaying debt.

In other signs of investors' growing confidence, safe-haven assets like Treasurys and the U.S. dollar fell, while oil and other commodities prices rose.

The major indicators begin the first trading day of August at their highest levels since the fall. The benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 index is just 7 points shy of the 1,000 level, a point it hasn't closed above since early November.

In early trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 43.84, or 0.5 percent, to 9,215.45. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 6.41, or 0.7 percent, to 993.89, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 13.33, or 0.7 percent, to 1,614.74.
