Stocks rise on governments commitment to further aid the banking sector

Stocks rose Thursday, extending a back-and-forth pattern shown throughout the week, as investors set aside some of their worries about the financial system as governments stepped up efforts to help struggling banks. The gyrations are revealing investors' indecision rather than big shifts in sentiment over the economy. Investors are still looking down a long list of worries about the recession and the stability of banks.

 

Investors bought into some beaten-down bank stocks Thursday as the U.S. and British governments signaled they would do more to help the industry and as several big financial houses announced steps to further slash costs and streamline their operations.

 

The improved sentiment about banks offset concerns about a larger-than-expected fourth-quarter loss at General Motors Corp. as well as readings on unemployment claims and orders for big-ticket manufactured that fell short of forecasts.

 

In the first hour of trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 88.73, or 1.2 percent, to 7,359.62. Broader stock indicators also rose. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 10.38, or 1.4 percent, to 775.28, and the Nasdaq composite index gained 8.58, or 0.6 percent, to 1,434.01.
