The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 60.36 points, or 0.4 percent, to 17,039.49. The measure is 0.6 percent below its record after closing above 17,000 for the first time since July 24. U.S. stocks rose on Thursday, boosted by a double shot of positive U.S. data coupled with expectations that Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen will deliver a market-friendly speech at the Fed's annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
