Stocks climb on earnings and GM upgrade
Positive earnings and a GM upgrade lifted U S stocks on Wednesday. Amazon and PepsiCo earnings, lower oil, and solid data backed the economy, while higher yields and a higher 10 year note prompted mixed feelings about growth. Dow closed up 71 points near January 2000 highs alongside modest gains for the S P 500 and Nasdaq.

Fed survey ties high energy costs to price pressures on firms
A Federal Reserve survey shows rising energy prices nagging businesses and limiting their ability to pass costs to customers. Regions report mixed success in price increases, with competitive pressures blunting gains, and energy costs hurting tourism and auto/retail sectors.
