Stocks began the session higher but the averages turned mixed within minutes and passed back and forth across the flatline in the early minutes of the trading day. The averages made a definitive move higher about an hour into trading and have remained in positive territory since. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., ratings agency Standard & Poor's upgraded its outlook for the U.S. economy to stable from negative, pointing to the strengthening economy and the dollar's status as the world's "key reserve currency" as contributors to its decision.

Also, factory output and retail sales grew at a pace that was similar to previous months.

Pandora shares were down almost 3% as the event approached... Facebook (FB) shares rallied 5% after research analysts at Stifel and JPMorgan both issued positive notes to investors about the social network company. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Canadian Solar (CSIQ), which rose 7% after announcing a $300M deal for solar power plant construction. Among the noteworthy losers were Dynavax (DVAX), which dropped 34% after reporting feedback from an FDA meeting regarding its investigational adult hepatitis B vaccine, and Titan International (TWI), which fell over 8% following downgrades by at least three firms.
