NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks rose Tuesday, lifting the
S&P 500 index to a four-year high, on optimism that euro-zone
leaders would take steps this week to contain the region's debt
crisis.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) rose 6.43 points to
13,278.31.
The S&P 500 index (SPX) gained 3.16 points to 1,421.29.
The Nasdaq Composite (RIXF) added 9.54 points to 3,085.75.
Urban Outfitters Inc. (URBN) rallied 16% after the retailer
reported better-than-expected second-quarter earnings.
Best Buy Co. (BBY) lost 6.6% after its results came in below
estimates and the electronics retailer suspended its earnings
outlook.
For every stock on the decline more than two gained on the New
York Stock Exchange, where composite volume topped 292 million as
of 9:50 a.m. Eastern.
