At midday on Thursday, the major stock indexes were showing decent gains, ranging from 1.4% (S&P 500) to 1.64% (Nasdaq Composite). All 11 sectors traded higher, led by materials (up 2.2%), and stocks posting gains outnumbered losers by more than four to one. A deal between Democratic and Republican Senators kicks the debt-ceiling can down the road until December 3 by adding $480 billion to the existing limit. Government funding also expires on the same date. Then we get to do the same dance all over again.
