Stocks leap on Wall Street as data show strong spending by U.S. consumers

Wall Street rallied to one of its best days of the year Thursday after data showed the U.S. economy is holding up better than expected, with particular credit going to the country’s shoppers.

It’s back to within 2.2% of its all-time high set last month after briefly falling close to 10% below it.

3% higher after the seller of backhoes, bulldozers and other equipment reported higher profit and revenue than expected. That was despite what it called challenging conditions across the agricultural and construction sectors globally. Cisco Systems’ profit and revenue for the latest quarter squeaked past analysts’ forecasts, and its stock jumped 6.
