Stocks rise after EU officials offer support for Greece; First-time jobless claims fall.
The market's advance was broad-based, but energy and materials stocks logged some of the biggest gains after oil prices rose for a fourth day.
Encouraging news about jobs in the U.S. also supported the stock market. The Labor Department said first-time claims for jobless benefits fell more than expected last week. Economists say a lasting economic recovery can't take hold without big gains in jobs.
Still, the brightening prospects for Greece managed to give stocks a bounce. Expectations had been building that a Thursday summit of European leaders would produce a solution for the problem. EU leaders said they would take steps to guard financial stability in Europe but did not offer details.
