Spring Thaws Boost U S Economy With Hopeful Growth
Washington reports show a rebounding economy as winter losses fade. Factory output rose 0.5 percent in March and motor vehicle sales recovered, spurring optimism for 3 percent-plus growth through June and a Wall Street rally. The Conference Board index rose 0.8 percent to 100.9 signaling spring and summer expansion. Banks increased lending and companies planned further capital investments. The auto sector, led by Batesville Tool & Die, predicts 4 to 8 percent gains over the next few years. Jobless claims fell to a four-year low, suggesting stronger hiring ahead.
