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

Investors grew more upbeat about the economy Monday after retail sales rebounded more than expected in October on higher auto sales.

The stock market's gains followed advances overseas propelled by a weakening dollar and stronger gold prices, which boosted commodities and shares of companies that produce raw materials.

The Commerce Department said retail sales rose 1.4 percent in October, easily surpassing the 0.8 percent increase forecast by economists polled by Thomson Reuters. It was a sharp rebound following the 2.3 percent drop in September. Excluding the gain from autos, however, sales rose just 0.2 percent, half of what economists predicted.

In late morning trading, the Dow rose 126.29, or 1.2 percent, to 10,396.76. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 16.53, or 1.5 percent, to 1,110.01, while the Nasdaq composite index rose to 28.76, or 1.3 percent, to 2,196.64.
