as posted by the channelWall Street traders drove stocks higher as bond yields sank after the latest economic data spurred bets the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at least twice this year to prevent a recession.
The S&P 500 rose for a fourth straight day.

Factory production declined for the first time in six months while New York state manufacturing contracted again. And confidence among homebuilders slumped.
