NEW YORK (AP) ? Stocks are ending slightly higher after a report of tepid U.S. economic growth raised expectations that the Federal Reserve will continue its stimulus program.
The government lowered its estimate for growth in the first three months of the year to 2.4 percent from 2.5 percent.
Stocks slid last week on concerns that the Fed might slow its bond purchases.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 21 points to 15,324 Thursday, or 0.1 percent. The Dow was up 95 points in the afternoon, then faded in the last hour.
The Standard & Poor?s 500 rose six to 1,654, or 0.4 percent. The Nasdaq rose 23 points to 3,491.
Three stocks rose for every two that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was average at 3.5 billion shares.
