Wall Street surges to close higher, powered by upbeat earnings, guidance

NEW YORK, Oct 24 - Wall Street ended higher on Tuesday as a spate of solid corporate earnings and upbeat forecasts stoked investor risk appetite and sparked a broad rally.

"The earnings season is only now just getting into full swing with a third of the companies reporting this week," said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at GLOBALT in Atlanta."Prior to yesterday and today, the earnings reports were a bit on the disappointing side, and so this was the first couple of days we've had some more upbeat and better earnings."

Verizon surged after raising its annual free cash flow forecast, while General Electric rose after the conglomerate lifted its full-year profit forecast. On Thursday, the Commerce Department is due to release its first take on third quarter GDP, which is seen showing a robust acceleration to 4.3% from 2.1% in the second quarter.
