Stocks Rise on Earnings Amid Inflation Fears
U.S. stocks edged higher as solid second quarter earnings from AT&T and Texas Instruments boosted tech shares. The Dow gained 14.85 to 10,699.97, the S&P 500 added 10.18 to 1,474.47, and the Nasdaq rose 48.00 to 4,029.57. Strong results offset inflation worries as existing home sales rose 2.8 percent in June, signaling continued economic strength and potential Fed rate hikes next month.
