U.S. stocks rose, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index capping its best two-day rally since October, amid optimism economic growth is robust enough to weather stimulus cuts even as data showed weaker-than-forecast hiring. The S&P 500 rallied 2.6 percent in the past two days, the most since Oct. 11, with the gauge posting consecutive gains of at least 1 percent for the first time in 2013. The surge has trimmed the index’s decline from as much as -5.8 percent in mid-January to only down about -2.8 percent.
Three rounds of stimulus from the Fed have helped push the S&P 500 as much as 173 percent higher from a 12-year low in 2009. About two-thirds of S&P 500 companies have posted quarterly earnings this season, with 76 percent of those reporting beating profit estimates and 66 percent exceeding sales projections, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Profit for members of the gauge probably increased 8.3 percent in the final three months of 2013, while sales climbed 2.7 percent, according to analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Let’s remember those numbers. Stocks earnings are increasing at about 8.3% and their revenues are increasing at about 2.7%.
