U.S. stocks rose for
a second day on Wednesday as a possible military action in Syria was seen as
limited and strong auto sales lifted investor confidence in the U.S. economy. The
U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a resolution authorizing a
limited U.S. military intervention in Syria, setting the stage for a debate in
the full Senate next week on the use of military force.
The Dow Jones
industrial average rose 96.91 points or 0.65 percent, to 14,930.87, the S&P
500 gained 13.31 points or 0.81 percent, to 1,653.08 and the Nasdaq Composite added 36.43 points or 1.01 percent, to
3,649.042.
