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

Stocks rose moderately in early trading Monday as investors brace for the government's first reading on the economy in the third quarter later in the week and fresh earnings reports and debt auctions.

Overseas markets rose, bolstered by new signs economies in Asia are well on their way to recovery. South Korea reported its economy grew at its fastest pace in seven years.

However, trading is likely to pick up throughout the week ahead of the Commerce Department's report on third-quarter gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the economy's health. Economists predict the economy grew at an annual rate of 3.2 percent in the quarter, according to Thomson Reuters. That would mark the first quarter of growth after four straight declines.

Investors have been hunting for definitive signs of growth in recent weeks and the GDP report, due out Thursday, would provide the clearest sign yet of how far the economy has bounced back from its depths earlier in the year.

Earnings reports released throughout the week should also provide insight to traders. The health of the consumer will be analyzed through the results of companies such as Kellogg Co., Procter & Gamble Co. and Visa Inc. Consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of economic activity.

In early trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 95.00, or 0.95 percent, to 10,067.18.
