by from on (#5493J)

Stocks are opening higher again on Wall Street, extending the market's gains into a fourth day. The S&P 500 rose 0.9 per cent in the first few minutes of trading Wednesday. Banks, industrial and energy companies led the way higher. Those sectors have been the most badly bruised this year and would also be among those that would stand to benefit the most from a recovering economy.
