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

Stocks mostly rose Friday as investors tried to extend Wall Street's gains for a fourth straight day amid more encouraging comments from bank executives and better-than-expected trade data.

Reports that Citigroup Inc.'s chairman Richard Parsons said the bank doesn't need additional government support after receiving three rounds of emergency funding helped lift financial stocks.

A government report Friday showing that the U.S. trade gap narrowed in January also helped buoy the market.

The Commerce Department said the trade imbalance dropped to $36 billion in the first month of the year, a 9.7 percent decline from December and the lowest level since October 2002. The improvement reflects a drop in demand for crude oil imports and other foreign goods.

Stocks have also been lifted this week by surprisingly positive reports from companies across a wide range of industries. General Motors Corp. said Thursday it wouldn't need the latest installment of government bailout money, and General Electric Co.'s credit rating cut on the same day wasn't as bad as some had feared.

In early trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 28.11, or 0.4 percent, to 7,198.17. The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 2.35, or 0.3 percent, to 753.09, while the Nasdaq composite index slipped 1.89, or 0.1 percent, to 1,424.21.
