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

Stocks have resumed their climb after Alcoa kicked off earnings season with an unexpected profit and the government reported a drop in initial claims for jobless benefits.

Several big retailers, meanwhile, are reporting better sales for September than the market had anticipated.

Aluminum company Alcoa Inc. surprised investors after the market closed Wednesday with its first profit in nine months, which the company attributed to cost-cutting and rising sales to automakers. Alcoa also said it expects worldwide aluminum demand to increase 11 percent in the second half of the year.

Traditionally the first major company to report earnings, Alcoa's better-than-expected report and upbeat demand prediction reassured investors.

A better reading on the troubled labor market also stoked investors' optimism about the economy. The Labor Department reported that new claims for jobless benefits fell to 521,000 last week, down from 554,000 the previous week and better than analysts had expected. It was the lowest level since early January. Continuing claims fell to 6.04 million, better than the slight increase analysts had expected.

The stock market's early gains were held in check, however, by a mixed report on business inventories. The Commerce Department said wholesale inventories fell 1.3 percent in August, worse than the 1 percent drop economists had expected. In an encouraging sign, sales jumped by the largest amount in 14 months.

In early trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 36.65, or 0.4 percent, to 9,762.23. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 3.60, or 0.3 percent, to 1,061.18, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 7.51, or 0.4 percent, to 2,117.84.
