The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.3 percent, the Dow gained 0.7 percent and the S&P 500 edged up by 0.6 percent following upbeat results from Salesforce and Marvell Technology, and positive comments by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on the growth and inflation outlook.
Weaker-than-expected private sector employment and service sector activity data also contributed to optimism about the outlook for interest rates.
