U.S. Stocks Rise as Sears Profit Overshadows Treasury Auction
Share | Email | Print | A A A

By Rita Nazareth

May 22 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks gained as unexpected profit at Sears Holdings Corp. overshadowed concern the government faces higher interest rates to finance the bailout of the financial industry, which sent Treasuries lower and weakened the dollar.

Sears jumped 15 percent. Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. gained after copper prices rallied as Chinese imports of the metal climbed to a record and inventories dropped. American Express Co. and Bank of America Corp. lost more than 1.2 percent as the U.S. government prepared to raise $162 billion next week by selling securities.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index added 0.7 percent to 894.65 at 11:10 a.m. in New York after losing as much as 0.5 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.7 percent to 8,352.51. The 10-year Treasury note fell, pushing yields up to a six-month high of 3.39 percent. The dollar dropped beyond $1.40 against the euro for the first time in four months.

“We had good news from Sears,” said Eric Teal, who oversees $5 billion as chief investment officer at First Citizens Bank in Raleigh, North Carolina. “The market is still concerned about the money supply and the credit rating for the U.S.”
