NEW YORK, July 3 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rose on Wednesday,
with each of the major indexes closing at a record high, as
expectations grew that the Federal Reserve would take a more
dovish turn as a raft of data provided more evidence of a
slowing economy.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 179.04 points,
or 0.67%, to 26,965.72, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 22.75 points,
or 0.77%, to 2,995.76 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added
61.14 points, or 0.75%, to 8,170.23.
