Investors set aside some of their worries about the economy Friday after Ford Motor Co. posted better-than-expected results for the first three months of the year.

The welcome news from Ford comes as investors wait for details on the methodology for the "stress tests" that regulators have given to 19 of the largest U.S. financial institutions. Federal regulators on Friday will privately begin telling the nation's 19 largest financial institutions how well they performed.

The release of the methods could signal which banks might be in trouble and could lead to volatile trading as investors make their assessments. The results of the stress tests won't be publicly released until May 4.

In midmorning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 59.41, or 0.8 percent, to 8,016.47. Broader stock indicators also rose. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 6.00, or 0.7 percent, to 857.92, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 10.11, or 0.6 percent, to 1,662.32.
