U.S. stocks lifted by economic data


 U.S. stocks climbed Thursday, with the S&P 500 extending gains into a third day, after weekly jobless claims fell to a multi-year low and consumer sentiment rose in December.
“There is a clear downward trend in jobless claims, which peaked in March of ‘09, and has made steady progress since,” said Alan Skrainka, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth Management LLC in Des Peres, Mo.
