Stocks extended their midday gains to finish the day firmly higher, with the Dow closing up 344 points for its best single-session gain since March 24. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 turned in sizable wins as well -- snapping their three-day losing streaks in the process -- the former also posting its best gain since March 18. It was a busy day for investors, with the unofficial start to earnings season coupled with some hotter-than-expected inflation data.
