U.S. stocks bounced higher Thursday afternoon, with the equity benchmarks climbing to session highs after New York Fed President John Williams said that the central bank should act quickly at the first sign of trouble in the economy. "When you have only so much stimulus at your disposal, it pays to act quickly to lower rates at the first sign of economic distress," Williams said, in a speech at a research conference in New York.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.02% was trading flat at 27,232, but trading in positive territory, while the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.27% was trading 0.
